Starting point is 00:00:00 We're having a great time. Adam Curry, John C. DeVore. And Thursday, July 2nd, 2020. This is your award winning Kimmer Nation Media Assassination Episode 1882. This is no agenda. I'm awaiting the stork. And we're broadcasting live from Museum Square in the heart of Amsterdam, the Netherlands. In the morning, everybody.
Starting point is 00:00:21 I'm Adam Curry. And from Northern Silicon Valley where we're awaiting 250. I'm John C. DeVorek. It's crackpot and buzz. Yeah, that's kind of weird. I'm over here and there's no. I think it's great because it'll give you the European perspective of R250, which is a big deal.
Starting point is 00:00:45 Which is nothing. No one cares. They don't care. What? They don't care. No, they don't care here. They don't care at all. There's no one walking around going, wow, almost 250. Well, I'm sure that's not happening, but that's interesting.
Starting point is 00:01:00 because they celebrate Black Friday. Yeah, that's true. They do. How did that happen? You're absolutely right. I can't argue on that. They picked up Black Friday, but no, they,
Starting point is 00:01:13 no, there's no such things. They don't even have Thanksgiving yet. They still have Black Friday. It's not like, you know, it's like Taxi Eric picked us up from the airport. And it's not like he said, hey, almost 250. No, no.
Starting point is 00:01:26 He didn't say that. I thought he'd demand a land, acknowledgement. No. But we are pretty excited here. I got a text from Christina. She said, the mucous plug has fired,
Starting point is 00:01:39 which, yuck, thanks. It's a big deal. It means the baby could come soon. The timing could be perfect, which is the main reason we're here. We're here for other reasons.
Starting point is 00:01:53 What other reasons? Well, when my mom passed 20, years ago. It was on this day, actually, July 2nd. She had envelopes for the four of us, the three of us, Bob, her husband's, so four of us, but the three of us. And in this, she had a personal letter, and there was, you know, little, little things. And I opened up my letter. My letter's like, I do not want a traditional, you know, like a funeral. I want you to arrange right away a 50, party with a soda soda fountain and people dressed in 1950s, Bobby Sox.
Starting point is 00:02:37 And I'm like, okay. And so I did it within two days on July 4th. I arranged that. I had, you know, 50s hot rods. I had the whole, I had everything all set up. And people came over and they hung out and didn't quite understand what was going on. But I did that. So my sister, Tiffany, who lives here, she kind of.
Starting point is 00:02:59 made a family reunion and we're all here to celebrate the 20th memoriam, I guess, of my mom. But it's kind of a family reunion. So the Italian curries are coming and it's going to be fun. Everybody's here. That's the idea. I can tell you're floored by this. Yeah. Well, I was like, I thought the story was leading in one direction and then it didn't.
Starting point is 00:03:28 Well, what did you expect? Well, I thought it was like a, you know, the secret node was to be open today or something. Oh, yeah. And congratulations. 20 years later, you're open the note. It's $10 million, Adam. He said, check for $10 million. Wouldn't that have been great.
Starting point is 00:03:45 No, so anyway, so we're on the plane. And now we booked Delta. Delta has direct flights from Austin to Amsterdam, which I thought was only KLM, but, you know, they code share or whatever. Yeah, it's the same company. company. Well, not the same company, but they're the same, yeah. Might as well be. Interestingly, so we go to the Delta check and they're like, oh, no, no, you got to go to the KLM.
Starting point is 00:04:07 So my ticket says Delta. See, yeah, but you got to check into KLM. Okay, so it is a KLM aircraft. It's a KLM crew. I haven't been on a KLM plane for a number of years, actually. And so we're sitting down. And there's the prototypical gay steward, you know, my age, so 50s, 60s, my age.
Starting point is 00:04:29 50s, 60s. And he's like, oh, oh, oh, it's so great to have you on board. You're Christina's dad. Oh, my goodness. Yeah, and? The point is, I used to be famous. Oh, that's hilarious. Wow.
Starting point is 00:04:52 Wow. Hello, penny drops. Well, I thought it was, again, I thought you were leading in another direction, which was. That was the punchline. Oh. I said, I thought I was going to go to the following. I mean, that it was scripted and somebody had said, you know, told this guy to say that, which has happened to me.
Starting point is 00:05:09 Oh, no. And it was, you found out the fraud and it was going to go in all kinds of directions and never did. I'm looking at the troll room. Why is potty mouth saying, according to Rocket Reach, no agenda LLC is valued at $2 million. Yeah, that's with us alive and in it, dude. We'll sell the show for five What are you talking about? I'll sell it for two.
Starting point is 00:05:39 Good to go. Take it over, please. And now it's time for three by three. Experiment by JCD. Comparing stories from ABC, CBS and NBC The number of endings, three. That's right. John's got the big three stories from the big three. There were quite a number of stories.
Starting point is 00:05:58 Most of them pretty boring and stupid, but this one... Most of the stories were boring. and stupid, and I will say this, this was, this is, the Supreme Court came down with some decisions, and everybody focused on the one that burned Trump, he's trying to do stuff he can't do, which is mainly then, so they all, whoa, blah, blah, blah, you know, he couldn't get his birthright citizenship thing through,
Starting point is 00:06:21 and they burned him, and on and on and on. So here we go with three versions of that story. Yes. Let's start with, which one do you think? We start with ABC. ABC it is. Tonight, the Supreme Court rejecting President Trump's effort to end birthright citizenship, upholding the 14th Amendment's longstanding decree that babies born in this country are born American.
Starting point is 00:06:47 Chief Justice John Roberts declaring citizenship then and now was the right to have rights to freely participate in our political community. The framers of the 14th Amendment extended that promise to every freeborn person. person in this land. We keep that promise today. Justice's Clarence Thomas, Neil Gorsuch, and Samuel Alito dissenting, Alito calling the decision a serious mistake that will seriously affect the future. Trump signed the executive order ending birthright citizenship on the very first day he returned to office. That's a good one. Birth right, that's a big one. Today he called the court's ruling too bad for our country, adding we can easily make.
Starting point is 00:07:31 make it up in Congress through legislation. But Congress does not have the power to overturn the 14th Amendment. Today, the justices handing Trump a victory on another issue he put front and center when he returned to the White House last year. The war on women's sports is over. The justices allowing states to ban transgender girls and women from playing on women's teams. Citing both fairness and safety, Justice Brett Kavanaugh writes, states may maintain women's and girls' sports for biological females.
Starting point is 00:08:05 In her partial dissent, Justice Sonia Sotomayor insisting it's not been proven that transgender student athletes categorically posed dangers to competitive fairness and safety. And David, the Supreme Court did not outright ban transgender girls from competing in women's sports. That is up to individual states. And right now, 29 states have restrictions on transgender athletes. The other 21 allow transgender. girls to play on girls' teams. All right, so they wrapped those two together.
Starting point is 00:08:35 Can't you your speakers down just a little bit? I'm having a hard time gating that out. So they folded those two into one. Okay. All right, that makes sense. Yeah, that's the way they did it. It was like blame. Let's try NBC.
Starting point is 00:08:52 Tonight, the U.S. Supreme Court dealing a major blow to President Trump's immigration crackdown, striking down his controversial executive order that sought to ban automatic U.S. citizenship for babies born to undocumented immigrants. The president today slamming the court's decision as too bad for our country, while immigration advocates celebrated it. The fact is that if you're born here, you're an American citizen period. The president has long railed against birthright citizenship enshrined in the 14th Amendment to the Constitution passed after the Civil War. This was not meant for Chinese billion. to have their children become citizens of our country.
Starting point is 00:09:35 This was meant, or other rich people, poor people. This was meant for the babies of slaves. But today, Chief Justice John Roberts, writing for the majority, reaffirming the long-settled understanding of the 14th Amendment, guaranteeing citizenship to all children born in the U.S. and subject to its power, with limited exceptions, writing, quote, the framers of the 14th Amendment extended that person.
Starting point is 00:10:00 promise to every freeborn person in this land. We keep that promise today. In dissent, Justice Samuel Alito calling the ruling a serious mistake that preserves a powerful incentive to enter or remain in this country illegally. The executive order, if allowed, could have potentially impacted more than 250,000 babies born in the U.S. every year to non-citizens. 13-year-old Mia expressing relief today that families like hers can now stay together. This is our home. We belong here. Yeah. Okay. Boy, this is so shallow.
Starting point is 00:10:37 It's shallow. Yeah, now, they could have mentioned Clarice Thomas. No, they said the same Alito stuff. And then they don't mention it's not ex post facto. You know, somebody's already born here. All of a sudden now they get kicked out. Oh, no, they got a kicked
Starting point is 00:10:52 out. No, of course. Which is the way they imply there at the end of this end of the story. They're wrapping it up with dreamers and DACA. So, and that's what they're doing. They never mentioned, they don't mention, it just sold, you're right.
Starting point is 00:11:08 It's shallow and lame. I have some analysis from our constitutional lawyer in a moment, but let's, let's hear what CB. Good, well, we'll hear from him after. Now we go to the, by the way, these have been an order of length. Yes, I see. But you can see that the ABC one was stretched.
Starting point is 00:11:22 The NBC was actually technically the longest for just about the topic. And the short is one of, from CBS. The court said that the framers of the 14th Amendment extended the promise of citizenship to almost quote, every free person born in this land, rejecting President Trump's efforts to rewrite the Constitution with the stroke of a pen. In one of the first executive orders of his second term on inauguration day, President Trump tried to end birthright citizenship. Today, after the Supreme Court rejected his effort in a forcefully worded opinion, he called the ruling too bad for our country and urged Congress to take action immediately.
Starting point is 00:12:05 Trump had argued the 14th Amendment was intended to grant citizenship to freed slaves and their descendants after the Civil War, not to the 250,000 babies born every year to people here illegally or temporarily. But in the decision by Chief Justice John Roberts, joined by Trump appointee, Amy Coney-Barrant, and the three liberal justices, the court said, under the Constitution, they are citizens at birth. Juan Parano, CEO of Lulek, cheered the ruling. I mean, the stakes are four to 500,000 children born in the United States to parents that may be undocumented, or at least in the process of getting legal status in the United States.
Starting point is 00:12:49 All those children born would not have been U.S. citizens, and they would have been state. So this is really quite disappointing from all three of the big so-called news networks. They really left a lot of things out here because really this wasn't about the 14th Amendment per se. And I'm getting this from Rob, our constitutional lawyer. You know, we have more producers than any news program, any news organization, anywhere on the planet. I defy it's true. Because we don't have listeners. We have zero listeners.
Starting point is 00:13:21 We have nothing but producers. at issue here was Trump's executive order to limit birthright citizenship, which is a little different than ruling on the 14th Amendment itself, which, according to Rob, and I'll take his word for it, SCOTUS actually disagrees five to four on the meaning of the 14th Amendment. See, they don't discuss that. This was only about his executive order. and Rob goes into the relevant part of the 14th Amendment,
Starting point is 00:13:57 which derives from a British common law doctrine called Yusoli, Yusoli, Latin for, this is my Latin, Latin, Latin for law of the soil. And under the Yusole doctrine, anyone born within the king's allegiance or protection was deemed a natural-born subject of the crown, regardless of the parent's status. The Dred Scott decision, this is, you know, I can't believe no one even brought this up in the news reports, temporarily
Starting point is 00:14:27 overruled this concept and made... Hold on. I should mention, because your complaint is legit, except for the fact if you listen to all the news analysis programs, a number of people brought up the Dred Scott decision. Right, but, you know...
Starting point is 00:14:43 But yeah, but it wasn't, yeah, these straight up reports are really bad. So the Dred Scott decision temporarily overruled this concept and made hereditary rather than soil the determining factor. So Justice Clarence Thomas, he wrote a 91-page dissent. I don't think any of the three reports of the networks. And he says that Yus Soleil does not just mean geographical location, this is an interpretation, but actual allegiance. He argues that the majority of wrongly, the majority wrongly ignores
Starting point is 00:15:17 that the 14th Amendment requires primary. allegiance through domicile, not through mere temporary or unlawful presence, which I think means that you can throw out every single democratic politician because they have no allegiance to America. So we should just throw them all out. And actually, I'll put this in the show notes. Because I thought it was really interesting that they really didn't focus in on anything. They did do cute things like Ms. Now.
Starting point is 00:15:47 I still have a hard time saying Ms. Now instead of MS. And MSNBC, they want to just call themselves the podcast now. They're doing podcast level content with podcast level visuals. And podcast level of production. Everything is podcast level. We're better. I mean, okay, you don't see my pillow against the wall here. But so the cute little gag was plan B.
Starting point is 00:16:12 They've got a plan B. And the way I took that was, you know what plan B is, the medication plan B? Yeah? Okay. So it was like, oh, for birthright, you know, we got a plan B for abhorting the birthright. Yeah, it's a subtle pun that they kind of threw in there. And here's the plan B. But let's talk about the decisions from the Supreme Court that we saw this week. And last week, what are you hearing from the White House about the reaction to some of these cases, especially the Birth Rights Citizenship Act? It seems like Brett Kavanaugh has given Congress a roadmap to. now follow through on crafting legislation to codify the president's executive order that Scotus has said is not viable. Yeah. What are you hearing from the way?
Starting point is 00:16:58 Not viable. There is more pressure on Congress now. It's not just with the SAVE Act, but also on birthright citizenship. So when they come back after this July 4th recess, I think there is going to be yet another to do list for Republicans on Capitol Hill. I think with birthright citizenship, this was something the administration was expecting. We even heard President Trump sort of try to lower expectations. on this. So this was clearly something
Starting point is 00:17:21 that they had in their back pocket ready to go with as a plan B in the likely scenario, which happened of the Supreme Court striking it down. Yeah. So that's, so now they're going to take it to Congress and, you know, see what they can do there. I like the allegiance part more than
Starting point is 00:17:39 anything. Makes kind of sense to me. Yeah. Well, they have these tourism, there's baby tourism. They bring the pregnant women over here. This is an offensive term, John C. DeVorak. Offensive. Offensive.
Starting point is 00:17:57 And the BBC will explain why. One of President Trump's first acts on returning to office last year was to sign an executive order seeking to end automatic citizenship for anyone born to foreign parents in the U.S. He'd argued that undocumented migrants were not subject to a right that has been enshrined in the American Constitution for more than 150. years after the abolition of slavery. But judges at the U.S. Supreme Court in a six-three decision have delivered a clear message to Mr. Trump. Birthright citizenship can't simply be annulled with the stroke of a presidential pen. He responded by saying, You hear how the BBC actually got it right, which is astounding. Our own news guys, news outfits can't get it right. They said it. This was about him.
Starting point is 00:18:49 annulling the 14th Amendment within executive order. That's all that this was. This didn't validate or invalidate the 14th Amendment. Nulled with the stroke of a presidential pen. He responded by saying the court's decision was too bad and that he would
Starting point is 00:19:03 use Congress to get around it. The House Speaker, Mike Johnson, also expressed his disappointment. It is a serious problem. We have, it's become a tourism, birthing tourism, they call it, you know, a trend where people would just come and you just come onto the soil
Starting point is 00:19:18 and have your child, and then they're able to avail themselves of the welfare state and everything else. It's been abused. But for those who've settled in the US and gone on to have children, this ruling brings a great sense of relief. The BBC heard from one woman who travelled to the US to claim asylum after fleeing Guatemala because of the threat of violence back home. Last year, she gave birth to a baby girl.
Starting point is 00:19:42 She didn't want to give us her name and her words are spoken by an interpreter. She says the term birth tourism is a foreign. Offensive to many hardworking migrants. There you go. Offensive. You're just an offensive man. You're birthing tourism. Sorry. Offensive. Offensive, I tell you. Yeah. Well, did anyone really expect that to go on his favor?
Starting point is 00:20:05 I didn't expect it to go on his favor. No, I don't think so. I don't think anyone did. But ha ha ha. We got another one for Trump. We got another one. And what else? Oh, his fare is no good. The fair. The fair. They keep showing, they never show the fair.
Starting point is 00:20:22 They just show the giant lawn, which is near the fair, that has people, you know, which is a monstrous thing. And they say, look, nobody's at the fair. But nobody's at the fair. Because they're not at the fair to see who's at the fair. See, we've got notes from people that went to the fair. They say it's well attended. I actually got it here.
Starting point is 00:20:43 From Gumbo. Please read. This is from Gumbo in D.C. Who works in D.C. And asked to be kept anonymous. How about a real-time boots on the ground? I've been on the mall many days and night since the opening ceremony, including this show day.
Starting point is 00:20:57 I was listening to today's episode, that was Sunday, on the walk back to my condo. My condo. And pause to send this when you gents talked about the fair. It's been packed every single visit. But people are making it look empty with how they take the pictures. The mall is huge. There's so much to do that people migrate to the next big event all day.
Starting point is 00:21:16 Concerts, performances, movies on huge screens. even a rodeo, a real rodeo? We haven't seen, what, what network has shown us the rodeo, or what network has shown us the giant screen? I had no idea. I had no idea that there was a rodeo going on. No, because all they show is they back, they take a shot from a mile away of the giant lawn that's out in the middle of the
Starting point is 00:21:41 old place. And they say, look, there's nobody here. I'm telling you. It's really such a fake. I thought I had a clip about it. Unless he shows the rodeo. I thought I had a clip here. Let me see.
Starting point is 00:21:55 A rodeo. But no, there's nobody there. Okay. Here it is. Freedom 250, yes. I think, is this? Let me see what this is. This great American state fair, which is happening just down the mall,
Starting point is 00:22:05 is being put on by an ostensibly nonpartisan group called, what is it called, Freedom 250. Right. But Trump has sort of taken the thing over. How did that happen? So there was a congressional bipartisan. Artisan Committee set up to celebrate America's 250. It's called America 250. And that's been sort of shunted away and supplanted by Freedom to... Freedom, too. It's always freedom.
Starting point is 00:22:25 Right. Wait, this is your... This is the confusion you brought up. Yeah, no, I brought it up, but America 250 didn't go away. No. Which is a creation of Trump. He appoints the leaders. The White House leads it. It's funded by taxpayer money in a lot of cases, but it's directed by the White House. It's a Trump political operation. I mean, and I was joking about your poll to when I'm talking about nanobblers,
Starting point is 00:22:48 but your focus on nonprofits and how they were used is what won you that award in the first place. When you see this organization, what are you looking at? What it means? So the money that, this is taxpayer money that goes into a nonprofit, and that nonprofit, then it's spending becomes opaque. We don't know if it's giving out no-bid contracts. We don't know who is hired. Oh, gee, that's never happened before.
Starting point is 00:23:06 It all just. I'm trying to find, this is so odd. I thought I had an MS now clip where, Oh, here it is. Yes, this is the one I think. Hi again, everyone. It's 5 o'clock in the east. Oh.
Starting point is 00:23:20 Don't come... Hi, everybody. This is... You know, I was drinking. Yeah, I'm a... I'm a beer, I shall. Wait, actually... This is...
Starting point is 00:23:30 What's her name? Here, let's start it. Let's start off properly. Here we go. Sometimes the pictures really don't tell the full story because if you look... So this is good. This is Ms. Now, uh, what's the Saki,
Starting point is 00:23:42 Saki show, playing a bit of Fox. So this is... So this is, in Fox, you've probably seen, they've got their white couch, they're outside, they're basking in the glory of the fair, which is also kind of sick out. Sometimes the pictures really don't tell the full story because if you look behind us, you see, okay, there are a couple hundred people back there, but the truth is when you make your way over here and you're in this lot, you're in a wash of people. There are thousands of people here, and I'll tell you what, that's with rain, with everything
Starting point is 00:24:10 else going on, the fact that it is heightened security just because of the world right now. It's really an awesome crowd. And it's the people that want to be here. Don't believe your eyes. Don't believe your ears. I put on my glasses to get a closer leg. I'm sorry. It's the other woman.
Starting point is 00:24:24 Nicole Wallace. Literally behind all those people saying all those things tells a totally different story from the things coming out of their mouths. Oh, they're lying. Let's talk about it. Hi again, everyone. It's 5 o'clock in the East. Donald Trump's long-awaited Freedom 250 Great American State Fair
Starting point is 00:24:41 went off with a whimper this weekend. with what looked like tens, dozens of people showing up for the event, which was plagued with problems, power outages, a shutdown Ferris wheel, extreme weather, and the cancellation of a performance by one of the only artists who stood by Donald Trump, other than Cash Patel's girlfriend, and that was part of Vanilla Ice. What kind of slight is that? Cash Patel's girlfriend, is she a singer? I thought she was a Russian spy.
Starting point is 00:25:11 She's a singer? Well, she could be both. other than Cash Patel's girlfriend, and that was part of Vanilla Ice. No, no. The less than stellar reviews are the same. Hold on. Vanilla Ice is Cash Patel's girlfriend. This is a scandal. ...in the viral post about his 80-duty little crowds have gotten under Donald Trump's skin in a big way.
Starting point is 00:25:33 Donald Trump posted this response on true social, quote, Do you think people appreciate what a fantastic job we did in building and operating the Great American State Fair at the National Mall, packed with happy people? Oh my God, I can't believe I'm reading this. And everybody loving it. Well, you are. The president went on. Ask yourself a simple question. The president of the United States switched to all caps.
Starting point is 00:25:56 Quote, do you think that Obama or sleepy job? I didn't could have done it. The answer is in Trump's post. No. The answer was like Obama did it last week at the opening of the Obama Center. Oh, please. But I guess in this case, Trump has a point. Obama has never in his life.
Starting point is 00:26:13 Like if Obama's motorcades draw bigger crowds for OTRs, trips that aren't even announced. Oh, my goodness. I'll continue with our boots on the ground. So even a real rodeo, and the Ferris wheels line is very long at peak times for the best views of the city. If they allowed drone footage, you would see the, oh, that's a good point. You would see the entire mall, but these grifters and clickbaders know that and just want to orange man bad this thing. also the weird religious tent that people keep bitching and posting about that thing has been on the mall for many months i don't think the park folks can kick them off because they got a permit has nothing to do with the 250th fair says gumbo in dc our boots on the ground so there you go it's but but all of the news it's it's all so cynical and so oh no it's i don't even call it cynical it's misleading well well yeah i mean but that's not a surprise I mean, that's not the surprising thing.
Starting point is 00:27:12 It's just, come on. Like continuously. Oh, uh, uh, uh. And then we have, um, the ongoing fight with the housing. You know, let's, let's skip that for now. I'm not in it. I'm not in. I don't want to talk about nothing with bills.
Starting point is 00:27:25 It's all kinds of bills going on. Bills this, bills that. Um, let's talk about, uh, let's see. Well, I got a number of things that we can talk about. Yeah. But it will be changing the subject. Yeah, we don't, I mean, well, what is the subject of 250?
Starting point is 00:27:46 Do you have anything on the 250? I think we can talk about 250 on the Sunday show. We're working over the July 4th weekend. Dude, I literally flew. Even though people don't seem to appreciate that. I literally flew through the night, set up the studio, and I'm working here, and it's, it's, it's, it's 35. Most podcasts would have taken the day off. Yes.
Starting point is 00:28:06 And relaxed after a international trip. I flew through the air, landed, and then set up the studio. And my wife is in her bathrobe here on the bed. Hello, hello, wife. When are you going to be done? She has a head phone. Oh, she's very annoyed by it.
Starting point is 00:28:22 Yeah. We don't, we don't, how can we don't have a suite where you can be in a different room? Well, because I'm a podcast, so you should have married a politician. So there you go. Let's talk about the,
Starting point is 00:28:35 well, let's change something and talk about the dare devils, the Empire I got two clips This was good I got the first ones from NTD which I think is a good rundown which is Empire State
Starting point is 00:28:49 Daredevils Two daredevils were arrested today after climbing the antenna of New York City's Empire State Building. The duo flew a banner from the top which read quote When the power of love beats the love of power the world knows peace
Starting point is 00:29:05 NYPD has released video footage of officers interacting with the couple. An officer could be heard telling the couple that they weren't allowed to be where they were, and then the couple could be heard saying that they speak Russian. New York City Police Commissioner Jessica Tisch praised the emergency service unit for their response. The duo were Daredevil Artists, Angela Nicaa and Vanya Birkis. They documented their time in the sky, ins on social media. It's not yet clear, though, how they got up to the antenna spire, some 1,400 feet above the ground. Didn't they climb up the side of the building like most of these Spider-Men people?
Starting point is 00:29:43 They never say that this. I think they got in the elevator, went up to as high as they could and then climbed. Whatever. That's the part not explained. All we know is we have some phony footage of them up there. I identified one thing that was on Fox that were the helicopters going around them, but they weren't moving.
Starting point is 00:30:01 Is this, no, is this signage? Is this like love is love? They got that from a podcast. Oh? From a podcast. He got it from a podcast. Hold on. How come our producers aren't climbing up buildings and promoting the show?
Starting point is 00:30:19 Well, they did promote the show because the second clip is Daredevil's. Here they are in jail. And what it turned out that the whole thing was to get engaged and they did. And they had a big kiss at the top of the Empire State building. And this is the two of them in jail. jail doing an Instagram post and the thing looks rigged, just like TMZ
Starting point is 00:30:43 and CBS and all these networks were involved somehow. Hello from jail. We are engaged. They couldn't be here. It was... Wait a minute. They're in jail and they let, they give them their phones in jail? I'm just saying. Lifelong dream to get engaged on top of
Starting point is 00:31:03 skyscraper. Oh, bye. We want to thank ABC. T.MZ. CBS, Fox News. Yes, and Jane, Nights. Yahoo! Everyone who shared our love. And the signs, yes.
Starting point is 00:31:17 When the power of love, speech, the love of power, the world knows peace. We found Zatman on a Mel Robbins podcast. Yes, Sam. You can find us on Zinnat, and we are registered at Beddad. Yeah, yeah, and beyond.
Starting point is 00:31:34 I love you. No touching. We are in the love. So according to Nick the rat, who came out of the sewer into the troll room, this is a Netflix promotion for the documentary Skywalker's A Love Story that follows Daredevil couple, Angela Nikolai, Nikolao, and Ivan Birkus. That's them. Yes, Tim.
Starting point is 00:32:07 So it's a promotion. It's a movie promotion, as usual. Everything's a movie promotion. And then they get a plug-in for being on the knot, so they're going to get a bunch of free wedding gifts. Yeah. Oh, man. That is...
Starting point is 00:32:22 You know, I bet you Stephen Spielberg is just stewing right now. Like, how come I couldn't get this kind of attention for disclosure day? And these idiots take it all there. Not only that, but they were everywhere. Merca, baby. They were on Twitter and this and they're on Instagram and Facebook and the news, CBS, NBC, the Fox, and she says, Yahoo. Yahoo. Well, that's pretty good.
Starting point is 00:32:53 You know, I've been up there. If you look right at that tower, if you look at the tower, the base of the tower is a little round room. That's where they did the proposal. They were in that room, the little, the small, tiny room. because you know what's in there. Oh, no, no, they were up above it. No, okay. So right under.
Starting point is 00:33:12 There's an open platform. Yes. I mean, I don't know how, you know, there's something about the mentality of people that are, that can do this kind of thing where you can be 1,400 feet in the air on the top of a building, on a windy day on an open platform and look over and go, hey, look how far up we are. So. I don't know how you do that. I've been up there one time with Steve Peppy, who was the engineer at Z-100.
Starting point is 00:33:37 and the way it worked, this is back in the late 80s, it was a different radio stations, transmitter engineers, responsibility. They changed, I think, every three months. And it would be that guy's turn to go up to the top of the Empire State Building and to check the health of everybody's transmitter. And it's this little room. It's like the size of a hotel room.
Starting point is 00:34:01 It's round, obviously. And there's just nothing but transmitters up there. And, you know, I think you can get in particular. if you stay up there too long. I think that's what I wonder about climbing that antenna. That's probably not a great idea. Well, that's the tower. No, there's RF.
Starting point is 00:34:16 It's the tower. It's not the antenna, but still. But yeah, and there's a special elevator that takes you all the way to the top, and then you walk up the little twisty-turny stair, like a spiral staircase. Then you're in that room, and the platform is right above it. So maybe they didn't even, do we don't know if they didn't climb
Starting point is 00:34:34 up the side of the Empire State Building? they took the elevator up to the tiny room. Yeah, that's what they did. I'm sure that's what they did. Yeah. Oh, interesting. Well, it's a good promotion. It's pretty good.
Starting point is 00:34:45 It was a dynamite promotion. I have to say, that's pretty good. And she's cute and she's, wow, showing off her ring. The whole thing is fake. Yeah. Faking gay. I need to talk about AI because there are a couple of stories that came out that I think will affect the, what would you call that?
Starting point is 00:35:04 The AI trade. AI trade. Yeah, well, I have one, good, because I have one clip. When you're done, I want to play this clip because the clip bothers me. Would you like to start off with that? I'd prefer if you, would you mind? Well, it's more about, it's not about AI so much about the server farm. So I want to hear the AI.
Starting point is 00:35:22 Well, there's two things. So a couple things happened. The first one is Ford made a rather startling announcement saying, you know, we replaced a whole bunch of people with, with AI and AI cameras. and AI sensors to make sure the nuts and bolts were tightened just perfectly. And, yeah, we're hiring people back because our cars, our trucks are sucking with this AI stuff. And so this was a pretty big financial story. This is from Bloomberg. So was it your team? Was it an employee, a labor issue? Was it, you know, technology? Did you use
Starting point is 00:35:59 AI? Was it factory processes? Like, can you get into specifics of how you did it? This guy, these Bloomberg people are doing podcasts too. This is not journalism anymore. Yeah. Yeah. If you were to visit today, the Rouge plant where we make the F-150, Matt, what you would see is a whole control center around data and quality data. So we measure the torque of every one of our fasteners. We have AI tools for vision systems.
Starting point is 00:36:28 But most of all, it's just old-fashioned hard work of our team members. all working together to pay attention to the very small details that will make a difference between a perfectly built Ford and an okay-built Toyota. It's just an incredible attention to every single... Wait, hold on, stop. Is he equating what... There's an equivalency thing he did there,
Starting point is 00:36:56 but I think he'd been subconscious. He equates a perfectly built Ford with a mediocrely built Toyota. Are they the same? I think what he meant to say was it's the difference between our trucks, which are great and a crappy Toyota, which is put together, slapped together with robots. That's what he meant to say. But let's hear what it sounded like. Let's hear it again.
Starting point is 00:37:20 There will make a difference between a perfectly built Ford and an okay. Yeah, difference. Give him a break. He says it's a difference. Details. They will make a difference between a perfectly built Ford and an okay built Toyota. It's just an incredible attention to every single detail. So, you know, they had a 700,000 unit recall on trucks.
Starting point is 00:37:45 So I don't know if that's something to do with it, but the way the CEO Farley here is spinning it is, this is America, man. We use American workers. So, I mean, it's interesting now that we're in the age of AI and we're talking about this technology killing jobs, but it seems like in your case, it's really experienced human workers
Starting point is 00:38:04 that made the big difference. It did. I have to say, the process coaches, the area coaches, you know, they get up every morning, they look at the last shift's
Starting point is 00:38:14 quality data, we look at how many vehicles are repaired, and we work that process every moment of every day, every employee walks into anyone of our plants, they know exactly,
Starting point is 00:38:25 are we winning or we losing yesterday and today. Everyone is fully aware of where we stand. We know exactly where Toyota is. We knew exactly how to, you know, where we need to get to beat Tundra and Super Duty better than any of the other domestic competitors. And so everyone is aware exactly the quality is coming out of our plant in any particular shift every 50 seconds.
Starting point is 00:38:53 And that is, that human motivation to pay attention to everything is amazing. Look, we make 85% of our vehicles in the U.S. Matt. That means these are U.S. factory workers versus even our domestic competitors. They're some of the biggest importers in the U.S. We're not building these vehicles in South Korea or Japan. These are American workers beating Toyota and Hyundai and our domestics who import their vehicles. We beat them all.
Starting point is 00:39:23 Yeah, baby, we beat them. We're the American workers. But the story that I really, and I saw this, we were waiting at the airport in Austin and then they had the screen. Before you go on, what did he say in that clip that was anything? Well, that's why I said. It's a cover-up.
Starting point is 00:39:42 They switched back from a whole bunch of AI engineering tasks, which I think is assembly line tasks, that they had decided to use AI for. And they said, no, no, now we have, because it was a big story. They rehired hundreds of Ford engineers, assembly line people, because the robots were doing a crap job. They weren't tightening the bolts.
Starting point is 00:40:06 You know, stuff was falling apart, rattling out off the assembly line. So he spins it as we, you know, when the next people come on the line, they've checked with the people before them did because we love our country. We love our truck. Where's your jingle, man?
Starting point is 00:40:21 This is a perfect time. Yeah, actually, funny thing, funny you'd ask about that. Perfect timing for it. As I yak. As I'm talking. so I can find it. I love my doom.
Starting point is 00:40:35 Exactly. But that's a chink in the armor of the AI craze. But what happened on CNBC, and this was like a 20-minute segment, Alex Karp, I don't know if you saw this. He's the CEO of Palantir. The company that somehow people believe has... I saw parts of this. He went nuts. Oh, it was great.
Starting point is 00:40:59 He even said, well, I'm going. going nuts. Yeah, he said that. It's true. I saw that part. You know, people, and we've had people who work at Palantir email us, with boots on the ground. It's like, you know, they're not even really an AI company.
Starting point is 00:41:14 You know, they sit on top of Oracle databases and all kinds of other stuff. And they have some proprietary. And they've been doing this for a long time. But somehow people believe that when you take Palantir and you put your flock cameras in there and all the data centers, they're going to control every single move and we're all going to die and Pallentier, which of course has got Jews in there, they're going to control us all. I read the documents as how it's all going to go down. But that's not true at all. In fact, they, you know, their applications sit on top of, if anything, AI, you know, sit on top of the
Starting point is 00:41:52 large language models. And he, I think partially because their stock price has gone down because they don't have a sexy AI story. I think that's why he's mad, even though. they're all billionaires. They've made so much money. Oh yeah, heaven forbid. Yeah. But what he said here was absolutely spot on. So the general way these things were sold, and these people are, Sam and Dario, there's nothing more fun than debating Dario in private. So I'm not throwing shade at them.
Starting point is 00:42:21 I'm not throwing shade at them, okay. But something has gone completely wrong. And the basic view among enterprises in this country is, I'm going to chill. What? Who's Dario? The CEO of Anthropic. Oh, okay, right.
Starting point is 00:42:38 He's complaining about open AI and Anthropic. And the basic view among enterprises in this country is I'm going to chillax and waste my time with tokens. I'm going to get no value and they're going to get my IP. That sounds like shade.
Starting point is 00:42:53 Okay. And not to shade, it sounds like you're saying these... No, no, no, no. This is reporting. Hold on. Can you stop it again? Yeah, sure. the one part about this interview that that just just almost made me just I don't know I was going to break something at one point at this carp um this is an interview with what's his name of the New York Times or no with NCNBC used to be New York Times the Sorkin kid
Starting point is 00:43:19 Sorkin yeah is it Sorkin yeah yeah it's the Sorkin kid yeah Andrew Sorkin Andrew Ross Sork. Oh, I'm sorry. A. R.S. Andrew Ross Sorkin. Yes. Carp says, well, I'm going to tell you something that New York Times, if they got a hold of that, I would never say this ever in a million years, but I'm going to say it because and I know the New York Times, I hope they're not listening. I hope the Washington Post is not listening, but I'm going to tell you something. Sorkin interrupts him and asks another question. Oh, yeah. Oh, no, Sorkin wants none of this. What is wrong with this guy? Sorkin? Yeah. Oh, it's his job to keep this going. It's not, it's not their job.
Starting point is 00:43:57 to report on. There's only one. I think the old dude, Joe, what's his name? Joe. Kernan. I think he's, yeah,
Starting point is 00:44:06 Kernan. I think he's pretty good. He's a, he's a, he's a pretty good dude. Fly in the oint me. Yeah. He's the Dvorak of CNBC.
Starting point is 00:44:13 And he sits there, but you know, he's not quite as, as, as, um, he doesn't get all the abrasive. But, but he,
Starting point is 00:44:22 you know, and all the rest is like, uh, markets going down, buy the dip. Markets go on. up you don't want to miss out i mean that's all they do yeah this known cnbc's known as perpetual and that's okay but what he's saying here i got five very short clips because the whole
Starting point is 00:44:39 thing was 20 minutes so i think these are the key point so here he is saying hey this this thing is bull crap that's that's basically what he's saying with tokens i'm going to get no value and they're going to get my ip now that sounds like shade okay and it not to shade it sounds like if you're saying these. No, no, no, no. This is reporting. Okay. And this is reporting. I'm doing your job, Sorkin. That I've literally against my own interest called,
Starting point is 00:45:05 like, I'm profiting from this, right? Okay. So he's saying, he's doing reporting here. It's good for his business. So that's interesting that he is open about that. But I'll just, I'll give you a preview. What he's saying is
Starting point is 00:45:21 that corporate America got the bill for tokens and went, okay, this is not paying off. This is not replacing people. It's costing more than the people that I want to replace this with. And it's not actually... Hence the Ford clips you played previously. Yes, yes. And it's not really doing the job we were promised. But in addition, what's happening with my data? If I'm using open AI or anthropics models, are you just sucking up my data and using that? Well, the answer is yes, of course. and so he's going to talk about weights and alpha.
Starting point is 00:45:59 These are all proprietary things that you can adjust a large language model with. Then you have my enterprises in the private sector who have the same issues. They're like, why would they get access to my data if they're going to build my alpha? Why wouldn't I control the weights? Why wouldn't, and that's where you get to this partnership. What aligns me with Nvidia and I think is what the technical customers want, which is control over their compute, their models, their data stack, and their alpha. They want to know they own the means of production.
Starting point is 00:46:34 It's not being transferred to someone else. They're not interested in some fake deploy co that somehow is deploying tokens that transfers the alpha to a third party. And the jig is up. Okay. So this sounds a little complicated, but you have to understand that Palantir just did a direct deal with NVIDIA, and they're going to run open large language models that their customers control and own
Starting point is 00:47:00 and whatever comes out of it will be their intellectual property and not open AI or anthropics. This is a complete destruction of the model that is supposed to make these companies, trillion dollar companies in their IPOs, which as far as I can tell are being delayed. Here's a very simple version of it that CARP gives us.
Starting point is 00:47:20 Our products are agnostic. We now sell a product to customers that allows you to switch from model to model. And we're completely agnostic. But we need to rebuild trust. And that trust is going to happen where everyone gets to ask and answer basic questions. Who owns the data? Where is it cashed? Are the prompts secure?
Starting point is 00:47:41 Is this being transferred to you? Are you being – okay, if it was so valuable, let's say I can make you a billion dollars. Right. Tomorrow. Wouldn't I say, I'll make you a billion dollars and I want 30 percent? Why are they charging for tokens if it's so valuable? Yes. I think we even said this a while back.
Starting point is 00:47:58 If you can create any business, if you can recreate it, why wouldn't you just go into that business? Why are you selling things at a loss that clearly this tokens is not making you enough money? And he's saying, you know, if this was really so good, why wouldn't I just take 30% of the profits that I make? Well, because it sucks. Because it's not, yeah. It's no good.
Starting point is 00:48:22 But I'm telling you, in this country, at every single enterprise I deal with, these people are livid. They're like, I am paying for tokens that create no value. These people are stealing the weights and alpha of my business, and they're creating a wealth tax that does not help the poor. It just punishes, starts with the billionaires. Every single person at this table is going to be paying a wealth tax only to punish us. And the reason for it is because these models have been completely over, irresponsibly
Starting point is 00:48:50 over-sailed. And the sale is it's dangerous for everyone, which is why I can give it to all your adversaries, but I can't give it to the Department of War, or I can't safely give it to an enterprise in this country without being certain that the alpha of that business could transfer to this model tomorrow, i.e. I have no business,
Starting point is 00:49:06 no job. You sound pretty angry. No, this is the voice of American business that is being channeled through me. He's right. Yes, I think he's spot on. and so of course now we have the bubble question. I want you
Starting point is 00:49:22 everybody watching this to test what I'm saying, especially investors who think somehow this is working. Pick up the phone and call a CEO in private. Not in public. Every single person here can do this. Call two or three and say, Madman Carp is on TV saying we're
Starting point is 00:49:38 livid. I'm not going to quote you. You know I won't quote you have an history. And see, they're twice as livid as me. So if you're right though, does that mean that we are living in some kind of terrible AI bubble and that we're going to, in a quarter or two or three quarters from now, we're going to hear
Starting point is 00:49:55 that big enterprises are canceling their subscriptions to these products or that they build out is going to slow. He is just buffaloing through him. Like, oh, you'd say that this is what's going to happen. This is just crazy, man. Because the app doesn't add. This is the tragedy of it.
Starting point is 00:50:10 The reality of compute plus ontology plus model is changing the course of history. Ask the Ukrainians, ask the Israelis, ask our Department of War, ask the enterprise that are working. We do not have to oversell what we have. We have, and it's all being built in this country.
Starting point is 00:50:31 Basically, except for the open models, which is a real thing coming from China, except for NVIDIAOPEO models, which are world-class, basically. It's all being built here. We do not have to over-hype. We do not have to over-hype it to the point where we're going to have wealth tax punishing the world.
Starting point is 00:50:46 Right, but if they're charging the enterprise three times as much as they're, should be. And then they have to pull back on that. That changes the math of all of this. Yes, it does. Sork and Child. Yes, exactly. This, and as nutty as carp is, he's right. This stupid marketing gamut of, it's just too dangerous. We just can't give it to you. I'm sorry. No, no, we have to, the Department of War said it. Trump. Yeah, that's been deconstructed by more than a few people at bull crap. Total bull crap.
Starting point is 00:51:18 And then I don't know if you saw, neither of us are on the mic. I'm not on Microsoft at all anymore, but you're wisely, you're still on Vista. And are you on Vista or 10? What are you on? Oh, you're talking about my operating system? Yeah, yeah. You're on Windows, but you're on a special one that doesn't upgrade. I'm on a special old version of 10.
Starting point is 00:51:41 Yeah. It's 10. 10. That doesn't upgrade. Right. It doesn't upgrade. Well, did you hear? what happened on patch Tuesday?
Starting point is 00:51:51 No, but I can just imagine. So patch Tuesday, past Tuesday's always been at issue. Right, but this was the biggest patch Tuesday in Microsoft's Patch Tuesday history. And over 200 bugs appeared, including bit locker keys being required. Now, if no one's ever seen this,
Starting point is 00:52:16 where something happens with your windows and then you get a blue screen and it says, yeah, this is a dangerous version. This could be fake. So you have to enter your 3,000 digit bitlocker key, which you then have to get from the Microsoft website. Have you ever been through this loop? No, thank God.
Starting point is 00:52:40 Oh, Lord. The bit locker loop is, and so just imagine you're an IT guy and you have, I don't know, 400 desktops. Try 10,000. You have to go and find a bit locker key for every single one. The trash, if you want to empty the, this is across the board now, Windows. If you want to empty the trash, the dialogue pops up. Are you sure you want to delete J6-529-3-22278 hash dollar sign pound sign?
Starting point is 00:53:11 So it doesn't give you the file names anymore of what you think you're going to delete? And at the same time, you've got Satchatine Della saying, well, you know, 30% of our code is coded by AI. Yeah, no kidding. This is what's going on with this stuff. It's no good. And so then CNBC follows up with the stories, which are obvious that people are like, you know, this stuff is not working for me in my business on the balance sheet. I think it makes sense. The market is trying to understand sort of the new narrative around the MagS7
Starting point is 00:53:48 because they went from asset-like companies that produced a lot of free cash flow now to ones that are more balance sheet intensive, actually funding what will look like a larger balance sheet. I do think investors are going to start to view that balance sheet as a workforce, right? I mean, the reason they're spending so much money is to replace essentially human endeavors with AI, that balance sheet is going to be deployed and generate returns. So I think over time, investors are going to start to view that as a moat. But you're right. We're in a transition period of that narrative. Yeah, of the narrative, but not of reality. Tom, I guess maybe the big
Starting point is 00:54:27 arching question, overarching question right now is whether or not this dip is the sign or beginning of something deeper or whether or not investors should be comfortable just buying. All right. So this is CNBC. So all of these big AI trade stocks, the chips, Nvidia, everything is down 8, 9, 10%. So what is the answer from CNBC? Well, we know what the answer is. Dom, we published a note yesterday looking at the 17 times that the Semney Index, SMH, had fallen 6% more in a single day. It may or may not surprise viewers, but these almost always occur in the middle of a bull market.
Starting point is 00:55:09 that these sharp one-day drops are not a sign of a top, but are actually rather viable entry points. One month later, 88% of the time, the semi-index is higher with a 12% median gain, meaning your 6% drop is more than recovered within a month. Buy the dip. I actually think this is a buy-the-pull-back. There it is.
Starting point is 00:55:30 Buy the dip, everybody. Buy the pull-back. Buy the pull-back. All right. Buy the crash. I'm not. By the crash. We should have stickers.
Starting point is 00:55:42 By the crash. This is a good show title. Yes, that is a good show title. By the crash. So this thing, I mean, we knew it was going to unwind, but it may come sooner than we thought, actually. Well, this is just the foreboding. Yeah, it could. Nobody knows.
Starting point is 00:56:02 I mean, that's the thing about it. These things are always kind of surprised. Well, in hindsight, like two years later, oh, yeah, you can see it coming. No, you couldn't. Nobody could. Well, but I'm an active user of this stuff. There was a great media. Yeah, you're the, of the two of us. Yes.
Starting point is 00:56:20 I mean, I use, you know, perplexity, and I draw, you know, I use some of the art tools. I've used Sonos. Yeah, search stuff, search stuff. Suno, not Sonos. Suno, Sonos. Suno. Suno. Suno.
Starting point is 00:56:35 No, I'm an active user of Claude Code, and, and I have it to test. Yeah, and all you do is complain. People don't realize that after the show, when we do our postmortem and figure out what R to use and all the rest, you always have some horrific story about how the thing's screwed up. Yeah. And you're talking to yourself constantly now about it. You know, I don't know how I see how I was going to do on this. Oh, yeah, yeah, he did good there.
Starting point is 00:57:06 It made it. It made it. It made it through 80%. You've become kind of a psychopath. There's this great video. I think I post it, reposted it on X, and it shows you a guy working with AI, like a coding guy. And he says,
Starting point is 00:57:22 okay, cut the sandwich in half. And then the other guy, which is him, has a subway sandwich. And so the AI guy starts to cut it lengthwise. No, no,
Starting point is 00:57:33 no, stop. I said the other way. And then so it tries to cut it on the, you know, his side and wants to cut it lengthwise, but right into the meat of the sandwich. No, no, no. The other way, turns it upside down. And it goes on and on and on and on because that's exactly what it's like.
Starting point is 00:57:51 It is so, so close to reality of what this AI stuff. Not all the time. When it works, it's great. But man, I don't want it flying my plane. I don't want it operating my oil business. No. It's just been oversold. I mean, there's great stuff.
Starting point is 00:58:06 There's great stuff to do with it. but I wouldn't trust it with my taxes. I mean, as long as you don't get an audit, it might be great. You did great this year on your taxes. Or not. Or not. Yeah. So what was your clip that you wanted to play?
Starting point is 00:58:23 I had two clips now. Let's start with this. And she talked about, you know, the danger. Let's play the Tesla kills a woman. Didn't we already play this one? I just got it. Oh. Tonight a woman was killed, two people injured.
Starting point is 00:58:36 When a Tesla crashed into an outdoor. seating area at a restaurant in Sini Valley, California. The Tesla stopped amid a tangle of debris and umbrellas. Police say a 79-year-old woman walking on the sidewalk was killed. The cause of the crash is under investigation. Jeez, there's so many
Starting point is 00:58:52 of these stories. Didn't you just do this story? Yeah. Okay. Now, the other one is about... But I'll just say this. That's not really AI. I mean, this is machine learning that's been done and, you know, this rules and sensors. It's not really an AI story.
Starting point is 00:59:08 No, neither one of these stories is really an AI story. But this other one, which I, because I didn't even think about this until this woman, this paranoid chick, big mouth girl with a, you know, not unattractive, toothy, goes on and on with this paranoid delusion. But then I started looking at the numbers. I was thinking, she's right about the basics here. Do you realize that operation in Utah, they're trying to build a big data center? Yes.
Starting point is 00:59:42 That Kevin O'Leary is, like, somehow behind? No, no. Yeah, this has been going on for a while, and there's some left-wing group that he says is funded by China. They're the ones behind the protests. Oh, yeah. Yeah, that's what he's ongoing. Now, Kevin O'Leary is cited in covert action magazine as a spook, not as an asset. Oh, a spook for some other.
Starting point is 01:00:08 outfit? No, for the outfit. Oh, the outfit. Hmm, okay. Maybe. Maybe. Well, I don't know one way or the other and I, you know, you could probably, you know what's going to tell you because you can't do that legally if he is, but they kind of imply it in the mega, you know, covert action has been around since 78 and, you know, it's just sketchy, but leery sketchy. So, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, this woman chimes in with this, this, this is the, this is the, this is the, this is the, this is the, this is the, Data Center Paranoia clip. Just have to come on here and say this real quick about the data centers. If you think that the government and big tech are building these billion dollar facilities
Starting point is 01:00:50 in the middle of nowhere to store your family photos or help you in any capacity, you're retarded. Okay? This is the whole, this is it. Does she mention Palantir in this clip? She better because that's what I'm here. No, just play it. You're retarded. They're calling.
Starting point is 01:01:08 them data centers because calling them mass surveillance centers would probably send people into a spiral. They're literally building the infrastructure for a surveillance state and they're doing it right in front of your face. It's going to be fully capable of monitoring your speech, your behavior, your purchases. It's going to essentially harvest your biometrics and create an entire digital profile for you. People are trying to say that something like this, would never happen. There's a 92% chance on polymarket that something like this is prohibited. Utah just got approved for a massive data center blueprint. This data center in Utah is going to be 63 square miles. Do you guys know how massive that is? I'm talking almost three times the size of
Starting point is 01:02:00 Manhattan and 200 times the size of the NSA's data center that already exist in Utah. Why does Utah need a 63 square mile data center? And by the way, it's going to be using double the electricity that Utah uses currently. And honestly, why does the country need anything like that for that matter? So I'm asking you to just ask yourself if this is really for the betterment of society and storing family photos and for you, or is it for mass surveillance? Yeah, this is a known meme going around across the political system. So I just had to look into the numbers here. Now, she's wrong about three times.
Starting point is 01:02:46 We're talking twice. You've been to Manhattan. Yep. Can you imagine the entire Manhattan Island a data center? Because I looked into it. Manhattan Island is 23,000. Depends you can get different numbers. But the maximum number you get for acreage is 23,000 acres.
Starting point is 01:03:06 That's Manhattan Island. The proposal for the Utah Data Center is 40,000 acres. Yeah, great. That's roughly twice the size of Manhattan. You can't, how can you build, put that many computers in the entire city of Manhattan, let alone two Manhattans? How do you even wire that? I mean, if I was anybody, I'd be buying copper futures.
Starting point is 01:03:35 I mean, there's just, it doesn't make any sense in terms of the magnitude. Well, okay, so a couple things. One, let's just talk about what she's saying, and then we'll get to the magnitude of it. She's saying these data centers, yeah, there's data centers all over the world that are being built in Canada, the UK, Mexico, the Saudi Arabia. And this is, this is what, the hyperset. This is the AI race as to who's going to be done first with. the data center that's going to have all the invidia chips in there that is going to run the compute, the compute for all of the stuff that we're going to need for the stuff that clearly
Starting point is 01:04:14 doesn't work well enough. And somehow in the corpus of the lexicon of the citizen, this is turned into, and this is why I'm surprised you didn't mention Palant here, this is the surveillance state, which, darling, the surveillance state is the phone in your pockets. it's already here. The data centers, it's not going to surveil you. It's a data center. You know, somehow they think that a big data center means more surveillance.
Starting point is 01:04:47 No, the phone in your pocket is doing all of that for you, and it's going to data brokers sold by Google, Facebook, meta, and you're actively involved in it. So that's what people are saying. And then the flock cameras, oh, the flock cameras. Oh, the flock cameras. got everything. Oh, by the way, and it's funny, she was doing that, of course, on her phone.
Starting point is 01:05:09 Oh, yeah, of course, of course. Yeah, no, I already can see the control room. Oh, yeah, Adam's going to say it's not for, no, data centers do not surveil you. The system surveil you, and you have that in your pocket. In fact, you're typing on it right now, you idiots. You're typing on it. If you're on Windows, you're on a surveillance system. So you don't need a 63-mile data center for that.
Starting point is 01:05:32 I think O'Leary got over his scale. skis on this one. This is my theory on that. Got over his skis. He's like, holy crap, this thing, because he's not dumb. This thing's going to come apart at the seams. I have committed to too much compute, too much acreage. And so he's already like, oh, okay, we're going to scale this back. We're going to make it smaller because these people are making my life difficult. I think he's the first one to see that this is not what he thought it was going to be. This whole thing was a real estate play to begin with. That's why Musk is saying, no, no, we got
Starting point is 01:06:04 data centers in space. Because I can't wait for those. On the moon. And everyone's all into it. Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah. Wait until Elon's data centers in space. Okay. These are going to be circling around and using solar. Well, they went on in the moon to the South Pole where it's nice and cold. All kinds of places.
Starting point is 01:06:22 That would be a good place to happen. But you're not allowed to go to the South Pole because that's where they have the saucers. So, you know, there's a couple of things that are flowing here. And then you have the electricity part. And municipalities are seeing this and they're getting mad. You've got the farming part where the farmers like, hey, you're taking away farmland that will never come back. The whole thing is a bad idea.
Starting point is 01:06:45 Well, in Utah, that's... Yeah. And so the smart... There's no farmland. The smart money, and I'll just say, Invidia, the only company really making money off of this, they're saying, yeah, you know what? just run it on your computer at home. That's the way to go.
Starting point is 01:07:01 They're selling little computers. Yes, yeah. They've got the DGX Spark and they've got these clones by MSI. And they're, you know, the cheapest one is $3,000 now, but that'll come down. Well, this is all fine and dandy what you're saying. And you're right. And I'm not arguing about the local is where it's all headed.
Starting point is 01:07:20 But what is the point of even specking out a data center, the size of Manhattan? island. He's not called Mr. Wonderful for nothing. That doesn't answer the question. Yes, because the money was there. The money was flowing. But what would be the point of it? To take 10% of the money before it all goes bankrupt. The whole thing is a giant scam. That's the point of it. There's no need for this. There's no need for it. And I'm telling you, well, how do you even get to the point? of signing off on a data center, the size of Manhattan Island.
Starting point is 01:08:04 John. Who signs off on this? How do you scam that money? Have you not watched CNBC? We literally just had an IPO that made Elon Musk a trillionaire on the promise he's going to put data centers in space. That's even crazier than a data center the size of Manhattan. Let's talk about reality.
Starting point is 01:08:27 crazy. It's absolutely nuts. Canada. Canada. Who normally just frown and look unhappy and they complain, they send letters. I don't like this data center. Listen to what's happening in Canada. This is becoming a familiar sound of protest in Canada. Large groups of people saying they don't want giant tech companies building enormous data centers near them. It's already a widespread backlash to the growing AI boom and the heavy demands it places on land, electricity, and water. This group was in Saskatchewan, but similar protests have erupted in Ontario, British Columbia, Alberta.
Starting point is 01:09:18 One study calculates that applications are in the works for more than 90 new data centers. Nonetheless, the federal government recently gave the green light to two new data facilities in Van Gogh. The Carney government says they're important to establishing what it calls digital sovereignty. That means cutting our dependence on other countries, especially the U.S., to develop and store much of our data abroad. Ottawa insists new data infrastructure is necessary for Canadian independence. I like it. No, A, say no to AI, A.
Starting point is 01:09:54 A, A, AIA. AIA. They're right. They're right. Simmer down everybody. This stuff is just, I've been using it for a year and a half trying to figure it out. We know the chat bots are evil because people are so gullible. But none of this is really working.
Starting point is 01:10:14 And then, okay, now we move on to the next technology scam. With no evidence whatsoever, even though I'm a big believer that we've had the technology since at least the 70s, but probably the 80s and 90s. all of a sudden we've had a successful test of a directed energy weapon. Don't show it to anybody, but just trust Pete. Secretary Heggseth shared that the first milestone test of the Golden Dome for America was a success, and that directed energy was harnessed to eliminate incoming threats. So obviously, the Pentagon is wanting to buy these to use them against our adversaries.
Starting point is 01:10:51 What do you think of the investment in these types of weapons? It's definitely needed, Katie. obviously, you know, knocking down $2,000 drones with a million, $2,000 SM2, SM6 missiles or Patriot missiles, just, you know, your enemy can bankrupt you. So we have to deploy these lasers. They're on board Navy ships. They're on ground-based units now. So the economics are starting to level the battlefield here.
Starting point is 01:11:16 These direct energy weapons are pretty high speed. They've been in use for a while, and as Eric said, they are a wide variety. but as you alluded to the Havana syndrome, these have been used for a while and they can be debilitating. I think the president kind of let it slip that we use some of the stuff during Absolute Resolve when we went in there
Starting point is 01:11:37 to get Maduro. So it's a new level of warfare, but it's definitely leveling the playing field. Yeah, he let it slip actually during our interview with him at the White House. I'm glad we asked about that. And then he went on to call it discombobulator. Now, if you and I,
Starting point is 01:11:54 ran uh uh, uh, uh, Raytheon or Northrop Grumman. Don't you think we would have videos all over the place of this stuff? For sales? Well, it depends. Hmm. If it works. Well, Heggseth said, oh, I saw it. I saw it happen.
Starting point is 01:12:17 I, we zapped drones right out of the air. And this, of course, begets more questions about Havana syndrome. These weapons seem to be in the hands of many factions that are operating without oversight. So this is an absolute threat to domestic America. You know, all enemies foreign and domestic, we have these factions running around without oversight. So there's personnel that are damaged. The Department of War lied about this for many years saying they didn't know what was causing Havana syndrome. They said they had no idea.
Starting point is 01:12:53 Nobody has this technology. Well, guess what? The Department of War this year stated. we possess directed energy weapons and we're scaling them up. Yeah, baby. We're going to zap your brain. And first we're going to collect all your data, put it into the big data center so we control you. People are not thinking logically, John.
Starting point is 01:13:13 I mean, I'm seeing it in the troll room right now. Ben Rose is a smart guy. He's like, they're just going to control us once they have all the data in the data center. Bro, don't put your data in the data center. There's no need for it. Yeah, just keep everything local. Or use Linux and use a flip phone. Yeah, there's another thing you should do.
Starting point is 01:13:33 I agree with that. You don't have to give everything voluntarily. Oh, I use my Windows, my old, old version of Windows 10 that can't be upgraded. That's not too bad. You did the most stable machine I have. But, you know, when you had a medical emergency, we couldn't even get into your computer. where is this is true where's the service that can say oh don't worry
Starting point is 01:14:01 we've got you covered here's all john's passwords you can send the email a newsletter again yeah couldn't get in none of this makes any sense and that's the way it remains but this is the black pill vibe that we're seeing everywhere oh it's just lost we're just hold on let me tweet something about how lost
Starting point is 01:14:20 we are with all our data let me let me take a photo and let me put that on the cloud tell everyone how lost we are with our data, they're harvesting in the huge data centers. Are people stupid? I guess. Well, they have to be stupid to even imagine a data center, the size of Manhattan Island.
Starting point is 01:14:42 And then you say, well, how about twice the size of Manhattan Island? You can't, what are you nuts? Yeah. Have you seen the gigafactories that Musk builds? Those things are minuscule by command. comparison. Yeah. No, that was just an investor scam. Well, it has to be. Of course it is. But at what level do people go, wait a minute, it makes no sense you can't build a building that's the size of a Manhattan island?
Starting point is 01:15:13 Look at all the buildings that are on Manhattan. I mean, it just doesn't make any sense. No. I know. I know. But. Well, that's the point of that clip. Well, that's a good clip. But you hear it, you hear it. There's everywhere. Man. And Palantir is going to control us all. And the flock cameras.
Starting point is 01:15:34 The flock cameras. That's my favorite. The flock camera. You know, the flock camera scandal reminds me of what, I think it was a number of years ago. You know, they pretty much wired up a lot of England, the UK, especially London. Oh, totally, yeah. And people would said, there's, it's overwired. They got cameras everywhere.
Starting point is 01:15:53 And no one knows what the hell is. going on. It can't be monitored. Or maybe AI can monitor. A can monitor a lot. AAI has already had it. We have documented women and men who have been arrested for being here or there and they weren't there because AI misidentifies.
Starting point is 01:16:12 AI is no good. I'm pretty sure that Larry Ellison didn't help at all when he, when he, I'll just replay this clip. Now, Oracle, if you want to talk about data harvesting, Oracle definitely is a company to be worried about. They are the de facto data. They are data brokers. They are data harvesters. And when he was at the Stargate conference, what happened to that, by the way?
Starting point is 01:16:40 What happened to the magic Stargate? Where'd that go? Is that still being built or that dwarfs in comparison to the entire data center on Manhattan Island by the guy on Shark Tank? Here's what he said then. The police will be on their best behavior because we're constantly recording, watching and recording everything that's going on. Citizens will be on their best behavior because we're constantly recording and reporting everything that's going on. And it's unimpeachable. The cars, the cars have cameras, you know, cameras on them.
Starting point is 01:17:18 I think we have a squad car here someplace. But those kind of applications using AI, we can use AI, and we're using AI to monitor the video. So if that altercation had occurred, it occurred in Memphis, the chief of police would be immediately notified. It's not people that are looking at those cameras. It's AI that's looking at the camera. No, no, no. You can't do this. It would be like a shooting.
Starting point is 01:17:42 That's going to be immediately, that's going to be an event that's immediately an alarm is going to go off. it's going to be, and we're going to have supervision. In other words, every police officer is going to be supervised at all times. They are now. And the supervision will, and if there's a problem, AI will report the problem
Starting point is 01:18:02 and report it to the appropriate person, whether it's the sheriff or the chief or whomever we need to take control of the situation. We have drones. If there's something going on in a shopping, and I'll stop, A drone goes out there,
Starting point is 01:18:19 get there way faster than a police car. There's no reason for, by the way, high-speed chases. You shouldn't have high-speed chases between cars. You just have a drone follow the car. I mean, it's very, very simple. And the new generation of autonomous drones. Yeah, okay. As Larry, that's what Larry does.
Starting point is 01:18:37 I'm selling you the future, baby, and you will love it. Doesn't it sound great? He's gone off the deep end with that commentary. Sense, sense, say, back off the sushi. You're eating bad fish. Yeah, of course. Meanwhile, you have to deal with the following. Here's Johnny from your Jesse Waters show.
Starting point is 01:18:58 On the Jersey Shore, when he's on the Jersey Shore, asking people simple questions about the Independence Day that's coming up, which is, by the way, July 4th is on Saturday. It's just around the corner. He's going to ask a few questions about Independence Day on the Jersey Shore. Amongst American, classic Americans that you run into, there was one person that did answer all the questions correctly. I cut most of that out. Of course, because not only is man on the street already skewed, but you can skew the skewed.
Starting point is 01:19:31 So good job, good work. Johnny hit the Jersey Shore for a good old-fashioned independent state quiz. Why do we celebrate the 4th of July? Um, I honestly couldn't answer that. Well, actually not sure. Be lit and enjoy life. How old is America turning this year? Oh.
Starting point is 01:19:51 I have no idea. 58? 58. Is it actually? No. 250? Where do we declare our independence from? Explain that a little bit further.
Starting point is 01:20:04 What do you mean by where? The United States. Mozambique, Africa. What was the name of the war in which we fought for our independence? Civil war. The Civil War? Yeah. No.
Starting point is 01:20:18 Oh, God. I actually don't know. The Reb. I don't know. French and Indian War. World War II. The Revolutionary War. What was the name of the general that led us to victory in the Revolutionary War?
Starting point is 01:20:33 Um. Does it begin with an A? Washington. General Lee. Hitler. It was not Hitler. Then I have no idea. What year did we declare our independence?
Starting point is 01:20:47 Um. This is a very very... wild guess in 1920 1786 1776 1676 1654
Starting point is 01:20:58 Democrats they like to say Donald Trump is a king but we know we don't have kings of this country because we kicked a king to the curb what was his name Oh my God might need some multiple choice here King Tut
Starting point is 01:21:10 Julius season King Charles or something Mabtoon Who signed the Declaration of Independence William Shakespeare Shakespeare. Lincoln? Dawn.
Starting point is 01:21:22 Wick. George Bush. Yeah. King Tut. King Tut was a good one. You'd be surprised how many educated, intelligent people who are friends when they said,
Starting point is 01:21:40 oh man, you're going to be over there for the 4th of July. I said, yeah, yeah, yeah. Did they celebrate the 4th of July there? Five people at least have asked me this question. What? Yeah. It's the same thing with, do they celebrate the 4th of July over there? Or do they, the same thing with Thanksgiving?
Starting point is 01:21:59 It's like, no. The old joke is, do they have a 4th of July in Holland? Well, yes, something between the 3rd and the 5th. Yeah. No, and they usually realize their mistake. Like, oh, that's kind of stupid. But it comes so easily to us. Yeah. I mean, I was just going through clips today. I'm like, man, everything is so cynical and negative and downer and yes, we got the 4th of July. We should be happy. I remember the bicentennial. I'm old enough to remember 1976. I was in America. We came back on leave from Europe. And it was great. I can't remember. I think we're in Rhode Island for some reason. And it was fantastic.
Starting point is 01:22:48 And everyone was happy and fireworks and drill teams. Drill teams. No, it was fantastic. That's how I remember it. And I just see, you know, just negative, negative, almost everywhere, except the people on Fox. It's just the media. I mean, I don't think it's just generally. No, but what do we do?
Starting point is 01:23:08 It's not even negative around here and I'm in Berkeley. Yeah, but we deconstruct media. So when I'm going through clips, I'm like, oh, man, this is all that it is, is just America sucks. we got a king, he's no good. This was a whole Jake Tapper just went off on Trump's
Starting point is 01:23:30 disclosure. Now, I'm pretty sure that world financial and the Trump meme coin and all that stuff, I'm pretty sure that was all done and wrapped up before he became president. Do you recall? I do not recall, but I do have the Trump reports crypto earnings, CBS clip.
Starting point is 01:23:54 Yeah, let's kick it off with that, and then we'll do some analysis from Jake Tapper. We have breaking news now from the White House where we're learning a lot more about President Trump's bank account tonight. His annual financial disclosure report shows the president made more than a billion dollars last year in cryptocurrency, including hundreds of millions from selling those Trump meme coins. Let's bring in senior White House correspondent Ouija Zhang with more. Rueisha, good evening. Tony, good evening. A few figures jumped out because of how big they are.
Starting point is 01:24:23 President Trump's financial disclosure reveals he reported more than $1.4 billion in income from his family's cryptocurrency ventures last year, including $635 million in royalties from those Trump meme coins, and more than $500 million from World Liberty Financial token sales, which is a venture he and his sons co-founded. Democratic lawmakers have long criticized Trump for crypto-friendly deregulation, accusing the president of gutting safeguards to personally benefit, although it is not illegal for Trump to invest in private companies. And tonight, the White House says there are no conflicts of interest.
Starting point is 01:25:05 Also new tonight, President Trump just announced the Republican Party will hold a convention for the midterm elections for the first time ever in Dallas in September. He says it will include a massive rally and entertainment, Tony. Yeah, so let's just set a couple of things apart here. So World Financial, which is run by the Trump brothers, which they sold to, I think they sold the majority, if not all of it, to Qatar, to the Gumba over there, whatever his name is.
Starting point is 01:25:37 Gumba. The Gumba. Yes. And that's a stable coin company. It's a completely legitimate business. Coinbase is in it. There's tons of companies doing it, tether, circle, and just to make it simple to understand, it could actually be very good for America because that shifts the treasury auctions and the interest rates from the Federal Reserve to the Treasury. So the Treasury can say, oh, you know what, and these will all be short-term bonds, you want to, to create $10 million of stable coin, you have to buy $10 billion or $10 million of treasury.
Starting point is 01:26:22 So it's backed by treasuries. And already over $30 trillion in stable coin is being used around the world. It's a great way to expand our currency dominance, which you want. You want the dollar to exist. If you're an American, you want the dollar to continue. And that's a legitimate business. they're very small in comparison to Tether, which is actually owned by our Commerce Secretary, or he's the agent for it, which is, what's his face, a smiley guy, our Commerce Secretary.
Starting point is 01:26:56 Yeah, not Besson. No, no, no, the Commerce Secretary. Yeah, I'm trying to think of his name. I'm just a blanking for a second. So, and that's a legitimate business. And the way you make money, and there's a big argument in Congress. right now. The way you make money is you buy the treasuries and this pretty good deal right now because you get a guaranteed, you know, four and a half percent, um, uh, interest on,
Starting point is 01:27:21 on those treasuries. And so all you're doing is just creating a digital token for each treasury and you collect the interest. Now, the big argument over the Clarity Act, which you might have heard about is can we also offer benefits to people who buy our stable coin and the banks are saying no, because then you have to be a bank, because banks have, you know, deposit insurance. And so that's what the Clarity Act is all about. And the stable coin's legit business. Now, the meme coin that Trump did, I tried to do that. I really tried to do that. I had crap partners. We were going to do Holland. You were in advertising in Dutch. I saw one of these ads.
Starting point is 01:28:03 Yeah. We were promoting this coin. What happened? They could, well, so we were going to an ICO, an initial coin offering. That is, that is, there's tens of thousands of them. And what you do is you say, okay, we're going to issue this coin. And this coin can be used to go to concerts. This is our deal. Concerts, meet artists. You know, if you have X number of coins and the coins have value and they have value because
Starting point is 01:28:31 of this. And it's all about marketing. And just as we were doing that, and this is all based on Ethereum. this is a long time ago. The Ethereum price kind of collapsed and no one really wanted to do ICOs and these partners were Dutch. That was the first problem. We just couldn't get it off the ground.
Starting point is 01:28:51 And then they didn't want to put any money into it. They never paid half of my bills. You know, so it was a rip. It was a loser. It was a loser. Yeah. But it could have been an instant where, oh, boom. And you would have been, you could have made a billion dollars.
Starting point is 01:29:07 I would not be doing the. this show. I would be sitting on an island somewhere, laughing it up. No, you'd probably be wasting the billion dollars somehow. No, I already went through one of those cycles. I'm like, I've learned my lesson on that. Yeah, that's what they always say. Yeah. Well, maybe, maybe you would stop. And you know what? There's always the podcast. I'd be like, I can always go back to the podcast. And so is that Bill Gates used to always say, you and he'd catch him, in the early days, he'd say, well, if this, if this, Microsoft's idea doesn't work out. I can always go back to coding.
Starting point is 01:29:43 Lutnik, Howard Lutnik. He's the guy, Howard Lutnik, our Commerce Secretary. So the meme coin, yeah, it's no better or worse than Elon Musk with Doge. And all of this stuff is, in essence, worthless. You know, it's like a collectible. It's baseball cards. Trump's, Trump has a lot of collectible items. He knows it.
Starting point is 01:30:07 Yeah. He does it. Trump, you had the Bible, the watch. Oh, he made, he made like $8 million on the stupid watch. It's all in the report. Yeah, and people are going by, well, this is corruption at the highest level. I don't think so. I don't think there's anything wrong with the president of the United States who is,
Starting point is 01:30:26 who, who likes Chotchkes, which is, or junk. And people, you know, people have sent me most of the, most of the collector. I have not, no one, there's two things missing from my collection. not that I'm asking for these things, although it's going to sound like it. I don't have a Trump watch and I don't have an Indiana sweatshirt from their championship. But. And I was wearing at the meetup, I was wearing Ohio State and I was condemned for not wearing Indiana. And I said, there's cheap pastures from Indiana.
Starting point is 01:30:59 And no one has ever sent me a sweatshirt. But you have a Steve Jobs dollar coin. There's no difference. But I did get the Steve Jobs. The best digital thing I ever did was MTV.com. MTV.com was a great deal for me. And of course, I can't divulge it because we settled out of court. No one has any further comment.
Starting point is 01:31:21 But I started my company right after that, and I had a good run. It's funny because John Markoff of the New York Times was on top of the same kind of idea, and he got NYT.com. Oh, really? Yeah, that was his domain. So I have two domain stories. And they bitched about it, so he just gave it to him. Well, I had Elvis.com, and for a while I had an email address going, King at Elvis.com,
Starting point is 01:31:51 and people would send emails. Hey, King, I saw you at 7-Eleven. I love your music. It was just going on and on. And I had that for a long time. And then Priscilla Presley called me. says, hey, you gotelvis.com. I said, you can have it.
Starting point is 01:32:09 I'm not going to fight you. I'm not going to fight Elvis. You can have it. I gave it to her. Then when we built Budweiser.com, for Anheuser Bush, it was my client. Bud.com was owned by some dude in, like, the Texas backwood. And he was just a...
Starting point is 01:32:27 His name was probably Bud. Totally. And he was a big fan of Budweiser. And so Budweiser is like, oh, man, this guy's going to, he's going to jerk us around. It's going to cost us millions of dollars. So, well, let me talk to them. Let me see what we can do. Call the guy.
Starting point is 01:32:43 He was exactly like that. I'm just a fan. I just love my bud. It's really good. So, well, Budweiser would really, really like to use that for their internet domain. Would you consider parting with it? And he thought and he said, do you think you could get me a six-pack, a long-necked sign by August Bush? I think I could do that, sir.
Starting point is 01:33:06 I think I could have it hand delivered to you. And that's how they got Bud.com back. It's like a Seinfeld episode. Yeah. Yeah, you know, he was a good old boy. He didn't, he didn't want a lot of money. He could have picked up a few dollars and cents. I recommended that they fly him in on the jet and give him a tour,
Starting point is 01:33:28 but they didn't go for that. So you should just do that. Anyway, he should not recommended it. You should have said that's what he's demanding. Oh, yeah. Well, I was young, can I say. I'd just given up Elvis.com. Yeah, you did.
Starting point is 01:33:42 Still have Diaries.com, still waiting for that million dollars to come in. You have Diaries.com and nothing's come of it? Nothing. Well, I think you missed the window. The window was early. It's like the guy who had art.com. A decade ago. Yeah, longer than that.
Starting point is 01:33:58 Art.com, I know this for a fact. Art. Art.com sold for $1 million. Yeah. Well, broadcast.com bought to Mark an entire basketball team. Yeah. That's, yeah, right, yep. So, and what?
Starting point is 01:34:14 The Yahoo is at Yahoo. Let's listen to, let's listen to, do you even want to listen to Tapper talk about it? Yeah, let's hear a little bit. It's kind of fun. Today we are getting a much clearer picture of just how much President Donald Trump and his family have been profiting in many ways since Trump's return to the White House.
Starting point is 01:34:35 We're going to walk you through multiple examples, starting with President Trump's newly released 2025 financial disclosure required by the Ethics in Government Act of 1978 that shows his total income for 2025 exceeded $2.2 billion. That is up from $622 million in 2024 before he returned to the White House. This 927-page report is a step. baggering look at President Trump's growing fortune made while he's president through cryptocurrency holdings, royalty payments, property investments, and much more. Now, Trump's total crypto earnings alone totaled about $1.4 billion during his first year back in office. One point four...
Starting point is 01:35:20 Stop to clip. Stop clip. Does he discuss how this hurts the taxpayers or how this involves the taxpayers or how this involves taxpayer money? No, that he spent almost 45 minutes on just complaining about it. No, there was no mention he brings on... Because there is no taxpayer scam here. No, no, there's not at all. It's impropriety, man. It's just a bad look, man. Own totaled about $1.4 billion during his first year back in office. One point four billion with a billion with a bee. And it's important to note, President Trump began making cryptocurrency regulations or the lack thereof. See, this is what they try to do.
Starting point is 01:36:05 What they're trying to do is saying, well, he made all this money because he's got cryptocurrency regulations going. But they already sold out. They already sold out on the stable coin. It was $500 million. You know, that was what they got. Which it went into, I think it went into, I don't know if it went to Trump himself personally, but probably into the Trump family money.
Starting point is 01:36:28 That was it. But that was before any regulations. regulation was in. A big part of his presidency, some of the crypto earnings on the financial disclosure include more than $526 million from sales of cryptocurrency tokens tied to World Liberty Financial, LLC, which is managed. That's factually false. They didn't sell any tokens. They sold a piece or most of the company for that money. Part by his sons, Eric and Donald Trump Jr. Also, a An agreement with celebration coins paid Trump $635 million. See, that's the guys I was supposed to be working with when I tried to do that.
Starting point is 01:37:10 Where was celebration coins? I was trying to do that. What was the name of that coin? Do you remember what that coin was? No, I don't. Oh, gosh, I'm racking my bag. I'll think of it. This is thought to be behind the Trump meme coin,
Starting point is 01:37:23 which has plunged in value since he launched it days before taking office. after Trump and Co sold them, they plunged from a high of $74.27 to their current value around $1.70, according to Coinbase. Scam, must be a scam, must be a scam. Let's talk about the royalties. Royalties. Then there's more of the deals that Trump struck to lend his name to random products and ventures, which lead to huge royalties and licensing fees, such as Trump watches, generated $4.7 million in royalties. Don't forget the $208,000 related to a Bible that the president frequently promoted, plus $67,634 for Trump sneakers and fragrances. What exactly is it Trump fragrance? You don't know.
Starting point is 01:38:15 Aside from business ventures, Trump's financial disclosure also includes gifts and its various, quote-unquote, settlements with social media companies and news organizations whom he sued or threatened to. $8 million from Twitter or acts after Elon Musk settled with Trump last February. $16 million each from ABC and from CBS donated to the Donald J. Trump Presidential Library Foundation, of course. $24.5 million from Facebook parent company Meta also donated to the Trump Library. $22 million from YouTube given to the trust for the National Mall. In terms of Trump's actual profit making, it is,
Starting point is 01:38:55 unprecedented for a sitting president. And it's drawn criticism from opponents and others who say there are multiple conflicts of interest. The White House denies that, and today Trump downplayed any concerns that he could be profiting off the presidency. Year last year, what message does this send to average Americans, especially those who may be struggling right now financially? I don't get involved in my personal. We have funds that run my money. To critics who say you're profiting off the presidency, Mr. St. Well, you know why I'm profiting? The stock market's going up. Everybody's profiting.
Starting point is 01:39:32 The stock market is not why he made $2.2.2 billion last year. Oh, man. Okay, here's the PBS version that will stop this nonsense. Eric, I guess the big question here is if Mr. Trump was not president, could he or would he have made the same amount of money that he did? It's hard to imagine that if he were not president that there would, that his meme coin, or it would be as profitable as it has been, or that there would, have been the scale of investment in World Liberty Financial. Yes.
Starting point is 01:40:03 What kind of analysis is this? If he was not president then, that's exactly. This is like, how much money did you make, Mr. Curry? Well, I made an X amount of money as a podcaster. Well, what would you have made if you weren't a podcaster? Well, you know, you... I mean, it's logically stupid. No, no.
Starting point is 01:40:24 This is my favorite is, well, you have a lot of listeners because you were already famous. dude. No. There was no, there was no podcast when we started in, well, when I started podcasting in 2003. And you and I had to, had to drag this thing out of the swamp for years. Same type of thing. Yeah. Meme coin or it would be as profitable as it has been or that there would have been the scale of investment in World Liberty Financial and the stable coin. It is, it seems as if his status as president is like intimately intertwined with the success of those companies. Okay, hold on.
Starting point is 01:41:09 So what we're doing here, this is a trick. The implication, even though he's not saying it directly, is that, which is a little different than my analysis I just gave, this implication is that this is corruption, this is a pay to play. If he wasn't president, then the stable coin wouldn't, exist. It's not a meme coin. Meme coin.
Starting point is 01:41:33 That's not a stable coin. No, the meme coin, if it wasn't present, the only reason is, this is basically the analogy to Hunter Biden's art. Yeah, yeah. No one would buy Hunter Biden's art if the Biden wasn't president. It's true. That's not the same thing as this. Okay, we'll continue.
Starting point is 01:41:56 It's like intimately intertwined with a, of those companies. And I mean, the fact that he launched the meme coin as they were gathering at a what? One more thing. With Hunter Biden's art, I'm giving Hunter Biden a quarter of a million dollars to get favor with somebody. I'm not buying a $10 meme coin. So Trump will do me a favor. There's no quid pro quo. Well, you do get to go to a special dinner. There's a special dinner for everyone who bought a meme coin? Yes, yes, he does these dinners. Oh, I should have bought one. Exactly. Trump's going to be there and they don't have to pay for the dinner. It's a free meal?
Starting point is 01:42:40 Well, a lot of these people paid a lot of money to get their meme coins, I guess. So, yeah. Three days before his inauguration for what was called the Crypto Ball. It was a bunch of crypto executives and administration, you know, soon to be administration officials there to celebrate his inauguration. And that's the night he launched it. And it was like, follow me as I lead the world. these things are so intertwined. I think it's hard to imagine he would have made as much money. He's never made this much money in his entire life as he's made in this one year.
Starting point is 01:43:08 So I think that's part of your answer right there. Oh, there you go. That's it. Hold on. That's PBS, man. We don't know this. No. Because his taxes have never been released.
Starting point is 01:43:20 How do we know that this is the most he's ever made? We don't. Well, then why did they stated it as fact? This is what I'm saying. everything sucks. All the news is this. Yes. This was an interview. So there must have been pushed back by the reporters saying,
Starting point is 01:43:43 well, how do we know that this is the most he's ever made? He's never released his taxes. At least Ms. Now is honest about it. And they just come out and say it, hey, we're doing all of this because of the midterms. That's all that we're doing it about is for the midterms. It's 2028. and we're going to blanket the airways with all of this stuff, nonstop, until you vote Democrat. No, the midterms for 2026, but 2028 for the next president.
Starting point is 01:44:12 And we're going to blanket the airwaves until you vote Democrat, you stupid people. In many ways, though, our story in America has been our ability to overcome adversity. This isn't the first time our nation has faced adversity. But what we've done in every chapter of our American story is, despite the challenges, we've ended that chapter. What's the adversity? What? What adversity are we in? Trump, he's just an adversity.
Starting point is 01:44:40 He's the adversity president. No, with more freedom, more opportunity, more justice, more equity. I know it doesn't feel that way right now, but we are in the midst of writing that chapter. And it will be up to the American people less people with titles now. to their name, more ordinary Americans doing what Franklin said to that woman outside Independence Hall that Meacham referenced, defending our republic, keeping our republic. The work falls to all of us. That's why we need a national referendum this November on Donald Trump's chaos and cruelty
Starting point is 01:45:16 and corruption. We need people to rise up and vote and be. No, no. It's the three, it's the trifecta. Chaos, cruelty, and corruption. And I'm a sucker for alliteration. They nailed it on this one. I know what the sea is today.
Starting point is 01:45:30 End them. This November on Donald Trump's chaos and cruelty and corruption. We need people to rise up and vote and be a check on this president. Begin to see our way out of this darkness toward more light. The darkness. What? At least they're honest about it. This is what I love.
Starting point is 01:45:50 They're honest about it. They're honest. There's two more from this. This is so good. Sorry. I want to. Oops. Sorry.
Starting point is 01:45:56 I mean, it is as clear as day in the 14th Amendment. This case should have taken... This is regarding the 14th Amendment, but it's all about Trump. A nanosecond to decide, and it should have been 9-0. I gather some of the justices were intimidated by Donald Trump sitting there in the court, staring at them, glaring at them during that decision. And then J.D. Vance comes along and says the quiet part out loud. It's one of the reasons why we have to win the United States Senate and not let... them appoint a justice should there be a vacancy who would be younger who would be there for a long time and be more dangerous when it comes to eviscerating the rights of Americans so bottom line here is
Starting point is 01:46:40 we need real reform in this country it's got to be people-centered and people-powered people-powered and it's going to come as a result of people rising up showing up at the ballot box demanding more from mail-in ballots and their elected officials and ushering in a new chapter in this country, one that gets us back to our roots of being more hopeful, more inclusive, and more just. You see, this is the point. Do you feel down with all the messaging we're thrown in your face? Just vote Democrat and everything will be more hopeful. And this is the kicker, the last one in this series. Tai, I want to ask you something of a personal question. I mean, you represent Donald Trump. You worked closely with him. Now you're a pretty vocal, a critic,
Starting point is 01:47:23 very vocal critic of him. What do you think of the, lawyers who signed on to work with him during this administration? So I think it's very important that even the worst presidents have the best assistance. So I think lawyers who go to work for this administration, if they can go in with the determination to honor their oath, which is to serve the Constitution and American citizens, not an individual. And if they actually do that, they're performing an enormous public service. I think what we see, however, is we've seen
Starting point is 01:48:00 a lot of people who have abandoned their oaths. Take Todd Blanche as Exhibit A, or Pam Bondi as exhibit A1. Pam Bondi had a session in the Great Hall of Justice where, you know, she declared the fealty of herself and the entire
Starting point is 01:48:15 department to one man, to Donald Trump, not to the country, not to the Constitution, to one man. And you've seen Todd Blanche tried to facilitate a $1.8 billion dollar slush fund you know, taking the money from the taxpayers that unjustifiably was given to Trump in a, quote,
Starting point is 01:48:33 settlement of a dispute that wasn't really even a legal dispute. We've seen people just do things that are unconscionable and unprecedented in American history and at a scale that the country is now being numb to. You know, the kicker's... No, no, no, the kicker's coming here, listen. Now being numb to. I've seen comparisons of Hunter Biden to the Trump family.
Starting point is 01:49:00 You know, that's like, you know, that's like comparing a Jay Walker to Jeffrey Dahmer. Oh, there we go. It wasn't worth the effort. Well, only because you got bored of it. I can't help with the guy's long-winded. Do you remember? I have four clips I want to play before we go out. This is what I'm seeing the time constraints here.
Starting point is 01:49:19 Yeah, well, it's because we're having a good time. We're having a great time. Too bad we can't do anything about that. We got to at least mention the heat deaths in the EU. Yes. Hold on a second. Because you're in the EU and I wanted to make sure we got to this clip. Yeah, and I will give you a boots on the ground report after the clip. In Europe, there's a perfect storm.
Starting point is 01:49:44 The oldest population on any continent that's warming the fastest. France's record heat last week is linked to roughly 1,000 deaths of mostly elderly. Of all climate-related impacts and hazards, heat is the biggest killer. European officials are calling for change, but not the kind that may seem obvious. Install air conditioning, especially for vulnerable people and save lives. Why is that not a solution in Europe? My honest response is I don't think that should be the solution anywhere. In the longer term, what happens is installing more air conditioning, actually, emits more heat
Starting point is 01:50:23 into our environment, so it will actually increase the speed of warming. It's also more expensive. Energy prices are much higher in Europe. Governments find other ways to cool historic and densely populated cities. In Rome, wearable technology is distributed to monitor the elderly, who are by far in the most danger. A recent survey in France said one in six people they surveyed, said they'd rather suffer for the sake of the environment. Does that surprise you? No, we're not doing this for us. We're doing this for the future generations. Lee and Irie, CBS News, London.
Starting point is 01:51:04 I heard, I have no evidence, but I read and I heard that in the UK, they were going around saying, you got to take that air conditioner out of the, out of your window. We're going to arrest you. I wouldn't be surprised. It kind of wouldn't surprise me. either, but yeah. Supposedly, according to some reports, they're doing that all over the place. We,
Starting point is 01:51:31 because they're just trying to kill people. That's what it is. So I asked Christina before we came over, then I sent her a link to one of these stories, and I said, because she finally, because she's 38 weeks pregnant. It was 100 degrees. They had no air conditioner,
Starting point is 01:51:47 flat roof above the bedroom, so they were sleeping downstairs. And they got a portable unit. She's like, oh, so nice. And I sent her this. link. I said, I hope the climate crazies don't do this in Holland. She says, this is, now she's a woman of the people. I think Dutch people would revolt against that. Everybody's tired of everything and all the climate bullshit. So maybe, but they still don't have
Starting point is 01:52:11 their bikes back. So I'm not sure that they would really revolt about it. And it was, it was a nice 73 degrees and raining when we got here today. Oh, that's perfect. Yeah, it's very nice. And the rain was the only brief, cooled everything down. Everybody's happy that everyone's outside, on the terrace is having a good time. What's your second clip? Secret event. Tell me what it is.
Starting point is 01:52:35 Secret event. Oh, I know exactly what this is. This is the Darren O'Neill has been invited to be the MC of the Taylor Swift wedding at Madison Square Garden. Did I get it? The clip. No, you get the clip right here.
Starting point is 01:52:54 Yeah, yeah, I got it. police commissioner Jessica Tish indicating that something big was about to happen at the world's most famous arena. In a briefing about major events happening this weekend in New York City, I would be remiss not to mention an event that we are tracking at Madison Square Garden on Friday night. The NYPD will, of course, have a detail in place, but I am not going to go into more specifics on that at this time. Of course. Yeah, do it on the 4th of July weekend with the biggest celebration for 250. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:53:29 Are they really going to do it on this weekend? Yeah, it's supposed to be like tomorrow. Oh, man. That's... Two more clips. Oh, I have one climate change clip for Europe, if I can sneak that one in. Okay. The last 11 years are the hottest on record.
Starting point is 01:53:45 We know the ocean is getting warmer. The Earth's surface is PBS, of course. This is temperature is rising. Europe is experiencing unprecedented. heat right now. What's the impact of climate change on all of this? You know, climate change underlies all of this, right? All of it. Air temperatures are about three degrees Fahrenheit warmer than they were just a little over 100 years ago. So if you picture it like a building, if your foundation of the building is, let's say,
Starting point is 01:54:09 three feet higher, well, then your building's going to be three feet higher. So what? Wait, distance? This is TV. This is TV. It's got something to do with the temperature? Yes. And apparently, it was, uh, 96. degrees in Europe 100 years ago. Sorry, this is a cycle, man. Years ago. So if you picture it like a building, if your foundation of the building is, let's say, three feet higher, well, then your building's going to be three feet higher. Wow. What?
Starting point is 01:54:41 Climate change is making all heat domes. Every heat wave, more intense, longer left. Okay. I looked it up. You know when we started talking about heat domes on this show? show? At least 15 years ago. No, not quite. Twelve years ago. And it was just, it was a heat dome. We weren't too crazy about climate change at the time. But now all of a sudden heat domes are because of climate change. Let's forget El Nino, the super El Nino. Let's forget the jet streams. Let's
Starting point is 01:55:12 forget all about that. It's climate change. Heat domes. Every heat wave, more intense, longer lasting, and also larger in scope. And what we're saying is, seeing is unprecedented type heat. In fact, the heat wave in Europe that played out over the past week or so, there was a study that was done by world weather attribution. They found that the heat dome was likely about 6 degrees Fahrenheit hotter than it. Otherwise would have been just 50 years ago, and 50 years ago, it would have been virtually impossible without climate change. But I have a study. So that's the impact on the European heat wave. There's going to be another one shaping up as we head into the weekend and next week for the eastern U.S. again, not an unprecedented
Starting point is 01:55:53 heat wave, but climate change is certainly making it hotter than it would have otherwise been. Due to climate change. You know, that's the one thing. These people should be arrested. That's the one thing. I'm so... I'm happy about our president. At least he did that for us. He just
Starting point is 01:56:09 called it out and stopped all the funding of it. He slowed it down. No, I think he'd change people's minds. I think he really did. Well, let's hope so. Yeah, I think so. Okay, now here's one more that has to do is we've been kind of talking about this on and off. This is the latest iteration of,
Starting point is 01:56:28 let's get some new gear. This is the drone hitting the airliner. You heard this one? Yes. Tonight, the FAA is investigating a potential drone strike over New York. JetBlue Flight 948 from Las Vegas was on final approach to New York's JFK airport early this morning when pilots reported a close encounter with an apparent drone at 3,000 feet. We collided with a drone back there in the turn. You said you collided? Yep, it hit us right above the cockpit. The Airbus A321 landed without incident.
Starting point is 01:56:59 JetBlue says a post-flight inspection found no signs of damage or any indication of a collision. The FAA is also investigating another drone incident at nearby Newark Airport Friday. A United Airlines 737 reported it was nearly hit by a drone while descending with 111 on board. And we almost hit a drone right there at Kimmy, United 1513. 100 feet below us. You get a look at it. Yeah, it was like a circular shape, and that was about it. It looked like it was about three feet wide.
Starting point is 01:57:34 Drones are not supposed to fly near airports or above 400 feet. But the FAA receives more than 100 reports a month of drones operating around airports. Tony, that's more than three every day. Yep. Yeah. Remember when we had all those drones from an Iranian mothership in New Jersey? Yeah, what about that one? It got a lot of play. That was good. Those were good times. Hey, man, this is real, man. This is Iran. Wasn't it aliens? Oh, it's supposed to be aliens. Social media has ruined the world. It has ruined the world. It's ruined the world. It's ruined the world.
Starting point is 01:58:15 And so has Ozempic. And my last clip will be this one. There's always something with Ossemp. Zempic. Yeah, there's a couple of things with those Zempic these days. The craziest shit I heard today at the salon. Wait, wait. Sorry. I was going to ask you, have you heard of Ozimic vagina? Oh no, but I might want some. The craziest shit I heard today at the salon comes from a friend, client in the medical sales community. According to plastic surgeons in the South, the highest growing procedure is to correct ozempic vagina. So if the symptoms of ozempic weren't bad enough, now there is enough deterioration
Starting point is 01:58:57 of the connective tissue that it is causing the vagina, parts of the vagina to deteriorate and fall out of the body. So it's still attached. But the procedure, as far as we could tell, corrects that and lifts it back into the body. So if the other, if hair loss wasn't bad enough, If all the other side effects weren't bad enough for the 1% of people who actually need to be on Rosemplic, not like the general public that's just taking it as a recreational option, this seems like the one to watch for. Wow. And it's now on Medicare. 50 bucks a month. You too can get ovage. That's right, everybody. OVAT. But it's okay. You won't be able to see it from your rotting eyes. disease. So it's all good. It's all good. And only one man could bring that to you that story. Ladies and gentlemen, it is the man who put the sea in chaos, cruelty, and corruption. Say hello to my friend on the other end, the one, the only Mr. John C. DeMorey!
Starting point is 02:00:03 DeMoran! see 1292. That's your 4th of July weekend right there 1292.

I mean, it's content, I guess. It's a great business. Before we, before you continue, can do, can you do me a favor? Yeah, sure.
Starting point is 02:02:06 Forward the spreadsheet. Spread sheet to my Gmail account. Okay. Hold on a second. Well, this is, this is a tricky operation. Okay. Hold on. I actually killed my email client.
Starting point is 02:02:22 Okay, here we go. I can forward this. Did you not receive it today? No, I have an IMAP issue with my email server. An IMAP issue. When I went to just retrieve it, it's just I can't get it. An IMAP issue. Well, this is not.
Starting point is 02:02:36 Oh, your Gmail. I'm sorry. Hold on. You just get no spam because you get no emails. Hold on. I don't know if I have, is it just, I don't know if this is your... Don't say it.
Starting point is 02:02:56 I'm sorry. I don't know if this is it. Let me see if it gets rejected. Let me see. No, it looks like it went. I could always do it in a browser, I guess, on my Gmail. You get it? And come in?
Starting point is 02:03:09 Seriously. Did it? I got... I did get it from Jay. Oh, so you got it. Well, I think. Let's see if I can download it. Well, while you look for the...
Starting point is 02:03:24 that. Well, I'm doing all the work. Oh, yeah. Tons of work there. Well, you're doing all that. Well, I got to click on this. I got to click on that. I got to... I want to tell everybody about value for value, the new international lifestyle that we have been living on for almost 19 years, where we don't make you jump through hoops or pay up front or have to listen to mediocre content because you pay for the bonus content or the good stuff. And we just give it all to you. Twice a week. All of it. Right there. All you have to do is to keep it going.
Starting point is 02:03:54 and if you like the show, if you get value out of it, ooh, there it is. Send us some value back. You know, how come you never pitch the value for value? Why is it always me? I want to hear your value for value pitch. Hey, I'm trying to get this thing up. That's what she said.
Starting point is 02:04:10 Okay. Did you get it up? Is it up? No. Otherwise, I'd be pitching value for value. Mm-hmm. Okay. So, well, I can stop tape.
Starting point is 02:04:21 Oh, there we go. You got it. Okay, you got it. All right, good. Good. Okay. All right. I'm good to go. Right. Okay. So tell us about value for value, John. Well, the idea is simple. We're producing this show. It's three hours, six hours a week total, and it has information that you can use for all kinds of purposes. And it also calms you down. I think it helps people make wise decisions. It keeps them on the straight and narrow.
Starting point is 02:04:49 And we don't charge anything for them, but we do expect that maybe if they, get some sort of a benefit, a benefit, any sort of benefit. It may be for their health. It may be for their relationships. It may be some information that they needed to make a good investment. Who knows? They could give us some income to keep to support this effort because we can't get the income any other way. We can't get the income by going to advertisers. We could, but then the show would suck and it wouldn't have any good information. But there's things we couldn't say. You couldn't, you can't make it an assertion about one thing or another. Like, well, like how we lost the interactive broker's account over there at D.H.M. Plugged. Is that because
Starting point is 02:05:35 you gave bad information? How did you use the interactive brokers account? Somebody on the show made it offhanded comment about, uh, about, uh, prop bets. Oh, oh, really? And they got mad and then interactive brokers. Oh, somebody wrote a nasty note and you know, you shouldn't have said that. And the next thing, you know, we don't have a sponsor anymore. This is what would happen to this show if we didn't get people to pony up. Okay. So just think about the results. You won't have the show.
Starting point is 02:06:03 You'll have a piece of crap show like every other podcast. Let's look at an example. So if the big advertiser, the biggest advertiser these days is better health from the wellness company. And we'd be ragging on all kinds of stuff. Like we just did a GLP one. We'll give you ovage. Do you think that the, The companies that sell that stuff would want to advertise with us?
Starting point is 02:06:27 No. Have you heard a podcast talk about OVage anywhere? No, why not? And you won't hear it on the mainstream media because they've sold out. Yeah. So that right there is a health tip of epic proportion. Especially if you're a guy. I mean, if you're a guy, you're really in trouble.
Starting point is 02:06:48 You can support us multiple ways. You can set up a meetup. We love the boots on the ground. These are extremely valuable to the show. We also need money, so we have time, talent, and treasure. And we have found that throughout the ages, it's great when we have a different piece of artwork. And I'm a little surprised that after this fine piece for episode 1881,
Starting point is 02:07:10 we titled that The Cow Cartel. This was a piece by Jeffrey Ria, and it was the No Agenda Mahjong tiles. And it was an interesting piece because, you know, a lot of these mahjong tiles didn't. really have official mahjong tile uh shapes but i still i've gotten again only tons of emails from people saying oh yeah mahjong tiles this is great people pay hundreds of dollars for mahjong tiles why don't we have no agenda mahjong tiles because the people that play mahjong are old women who don't listen to the show
Starting point is 02:07:44 we'll sell no mahjong tiles okay well there's your meeting that's literally how we run the company we appreciate you Jeffer Rio. This is true. And by the way, I'm not the only one who shouts at the other guy. No. No. When did I last shout at you? I don't shout at you ever.
Starting point is 02:08:06 We're going to shout at you. He said at the beginning of the show. He said I should be dead. No. No, but I did shout at you when you had a bypass. I'm like, what are you doing? You're ruining the show. Yes, of course.
Starting point is 02:08:18 I should. Yes. So Marty, our joke writer. Uh-huh. Your joke writer. Let's get this straight. Your joke writer. Yes. One of my joke writers. One, oh, you have a whole stable of them. And you have something to say about my robot. You've got joke writers. Okay. Yeah, but they're humans. I come with my own material. So Marty went and had open heart surgery. He just went and had that. Like he had a taco.
Starting point is 02:08:45 Well, he gets a lot of operations, but he had it. And I had, he sent a note in, I should like to read it. Oh, yeah. I'd love to hear that. Is he okay? Let's just get straight to it. Yeah, he made it through. It was last Friday. What did he have? Single, double, triple, quadruple? No, it wasn't a bypass. It was a valve replacement or some damn thing. Oh, overhaul. Okay. Valve replacement. Now he's out of trouble and he's mad because of the service he gets at the hospital. He didn't get good service. Oh, he's alive, isn't he? Was that not good service?
Starting point is 02:09:17 Well, here we go. Let me read this. Sorry about being switched to the general ward I did two days ago or a day and a half in ICU and then sent to the general ward, which was a giant step downward in every way. After two days of that shit, I said, get me the F out of here. There's nothing they were doing there that I couldn't do at home. And the general attitude was miserable among the underpaid staff who were mostly Pigeon England's English-speaking Africans doing the jobs that nurses used to do. and the nurses that seem to be a vanishing breed spent most of their time on their on their phones giggling with friends. There's an enormous article in this for you, John, especially in Boston, where the idea of flooding low-paid jobs to semi-literate Africans, not black Americans, not African-Americans, has taken hold. I give general medicine, especially in hospitals, and no more than a couple of years before they were become clinics run by physician's assistants.
Starting point is 02:10:16 but that's already happening. Wow. Love to talk to you by phone. Thank you for both. Now, I ran into this. There was a number of Africans that you run into. Now, there was a lot of Filipino women, especially in the Bay Area, that were doing most of this work. But there were literally Africans who could barely speak English and they didn't seem competent at anything.
Starting point is 02:10:41 And they were in the hospital, you know, doing this and that. What is this in that? that. That's what I'd like to know. They come in, bumble in, and they do something. They wouldn't get anything accomplished. Somebody else would replace them and do what they were supposed to do. There's something fishy going on with all these Africans. A lot of, you know, Somalis, for example. They're all over the place. And they're eating the dogs. No, that's the Haitians. Oh, I'm sorry. I didn't run into any of them. Wait a minute. The Somalis, they're ripping off Medicare right there in the hospital.
Starting point is 02:11:19 All I know is that his complaint is legit. I believe it. You don't want to go to the hospital. No, you don't want to go to the hospital. It's no fun. So somebody out there can send a note in, where do all these Africans come from? From Africa, when there's people of Americans that need work.
Starting point is 02:11:40 Yeah, well, you know, what they'll say. Well, Americans don't want to work. Maybe. Bull crap. Yeah, I'm with you. Okay, well, I'm glad Marty's okay. Has he gotten funnier since the operation? By the, on basis of this note, no.
Starting point is 02:12:00 Let's, as we near the 4th of July, the celebration of our great country, we have been asking for the 250 donation, which I think you can also do a 25. Do we do a 25 as well for the 50 or is only 250? I probably should do one for the next show. Yeah, yeah. And you know, we should read them too. If they want to, if they want us to. They have a note at your 25.
Starting point is 02:12:24 It would be nice. I put a Canadian-Canada Day thing in, by the way. No response. Got not one response. No. From any Canadian who, like years ago, they'd say, well, thanks for recognizing some things. No. No, I put, you know, no.
Starting point is 02:12:42 No, not one Canadian cares. So let's look at the artwork. We had Jeffrey Ria, and we thank you, Jeffrey. There was some odd ones. Of course, Darren O'Neill with a boobs in a mahjong tile. We had, I don't have,
Starting point is 02:12:59 the comics or blogger did have an interesting piece that we'd never use. It was a mahjong tile in his signature butt, which was kind of an, but no, I'm not going to use it, but it was interesting. And then there's heads like, Marjor
Starting point is 02:13:15 Taylor Green or is it Megan Kelly I don't know and Tucker Carlson no we're not going to use that we're not going to show Fauci behind bars or John Bolton behind bars
Starting point is 02:13:26 no and then the blue acorn stole an idea from someone with the Statue of Liberty pointing that's from yeah Caitlin
Starting point is 02:13:38 Caitlin no it's not Caitlin Cunningham. Cunningham. Yes, that's who it is. Yeah, she's getting all the attention. Yeah. Taylor must be mad.
Starting point is 02:13:51 So, you know, I see some different models being used. That's interesting. But, no, the most artistic was Jeffrey Rhea. You even thought it was, I think you said, that's interesting. Didn't you say that? That's interesting. I like the piece a lot. Yeah, that's good.
Starting point is 02:14:06 I thought it was artistic. Yes, artistic. No agenda art generator.com. that's where you can upload. It's free to upload, free to play. And we give you credit where credit is due. And we critique where critique is necessary as well. Now to the treasure portion of our time,
Starting point is 02:14:23 talent, and treasure for the international lifestyle of value for value. This is all donations. We thank everybody, $50 and above, never under $50 for reasons of anonymity. And what's wrong? I'm trying to get to the right page. Click in here. Okay, you're clicking. Now you can go to No Agenda Donations.com and send in any amount you want at any time.
Starting point is 02:14:47 Whatever the value is that you got out of the show, you can put it back in. And that value is different from everybody. That's what's so great about it. So if $25 is a lot for you and I think everybody should be able to donate at least $25 once in the lifetime of listening to the show, that's fantastic. A lot of people can send $250 or $200. And we like to do something special for, a lot of people save up for it to $200 or more.
Starting point is 02:15:13 Not only will we guarantee to be reading your note, but we'll also give you a Hollywood credit of associate executive producer, where you can use anywhere that Hollywood credits are recognized, including IMDB.com, $300 or more, and you will become an executive producer. Same deal we read your note. And right off the bat, we have $1,000 from Sir Donald of the fire bottles from Spokane Valley, Washington.
Starting point is 02:15:37 And he says, this is a question. Gentlemen, I'm hoping I'm not too late to attain red night status. Cheers, Sir Donald of the fire bottles. I thought we were out. We had to, because of the buffer, we do have one left. You had a buffer for him. For him. Where's the, where's the guy with the rubbleizer? He's supposed to come in on the seventh. Oh, okay. Well, so he, wait a mean, so he could, he could reserve that in advance? Yeah. Hmm. Okay. Well, if it doesn't come in, we release three rings or three pins. Yes. Okay. All right.
Starting point is 02:16:19 Well, thank you, Sir Donald. So you're good to go. You're in. You're in. You're in the pocket, brother. You're good. Okay. Next, we have Sir Cretchenman in Richmond, Indiana. He wrote a note, which is right here. actually I have the note. Yes, yes, you have the note. I can make noise with it. In the morning, jents, in the picture John holding the stuffed heart pillow,
Starting point is 02:16:50 reminds me of my father's cardiac surgery 25 years ago. He was sitting in the waiting room while my grandmother was seeing a cardiologist. Bored, he picked up a brochure about the signs and symptoms of cardiac disease, realizing he had all of them. No. While in the office, he decided to see a cardiologist himself, a quadruple bypass later. Wow.
Starting point is 02:17:11 He's still enjoying life. John, I'm happy to see you escape the clutches of Father Time. I bumped up my donation in honor of my father. So he came with 444.44. Nice. Dan Kretchenman. He loves the show, but he can't figure out how to use the podcast app. Well, that's, we tried to make that pretty easy.
Starting point is 02:17:31 Show him. Yeah. Yeah, have him call me. I'll show him. No, not you. Oh, I'm sorry. I'll do a Zoom call. Jason. I'll do a Zoom.
Starting point is 02:17:37 we should do an instruction. Jason, just show him. Yeah, help him out, Jason. Adam, I have returned to our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. Amen. It's been nice hearing you speak of him. I treasure both of you trying to make sense of the world and current events. But I'm now thoroughly convinced only one man knows the Apollo program broke through the firmament,
Starting point is 02:17:57 who shot JFK, and how a terrorist passport was found intact in the rebel of 9-11. So I think Jesus is the only one who knows that. Is that what he's saying here? I don't know what he said. I think that's what he's saying. Maybe he knows. Lastly, thank you to every podcast listener or no agenda listener, who donates their time, talent, and treasure to the best podcast universe.
Starting point is 02:18:19 You are valued by this humble listener. Four more years, can I get massive dumps? Shut up. It's science and a goat karma jingle. Jason, uh, Kretschman of the white, Sir Jason, Sir Kretschman of the Whitewater Valley. They did dumps. They call them dumps.
Starting point is 02:18:39 Big massive dumps. But anyway, that was just my little... Oh, wow. Hold on a second. That's not the right. We haven't done this Dr. Kiki. And, huh. I'm sorry.
Starting point is 02:18:49 Well, what... Have it's worth it? What is shut up already? Oh. It's science. It's gone? Oh, hold on. This is lame.
Starting point is 02:19:03 Shut up science. Don't tell me this is gone. Oh. Where's Dr. Kiki? Hold on. I have science. What has science done for you lately? What is worth it?
Starting point is 02:19:20 And I click this one and it's the wrong one. But anyway, that was... I see, that's the wrong one. Well, this is a problem. What is this one? Probably under shut up. No. No, I know it has Dr. Kiki in the title.
Starting point is 02:19:39 Maybe just Kiki. Yeah, that's what I. I'm doing. I have Kiki. All right. Shut up science. Let's see. Shut up science. No. Well, you're going to have to bump it. I'm very upset by this. Yeah, you should be.
Starting point is 02:19:56 You're generally. Yeah. Brinkishly organized. Well, this is what makes me nuts. Because I have this one. What has science done for you lately? Right. And then I have, this is Dr. Kiki's science. But anyway, that was just my little.
Starting point is 02:20:14 Shut up. Shadow party. This is science. Okay, there you go. I only have a piece of it. Something's very wrong here. I'm going to have to look into that. Here's your goat karma, though.
Starting point is 02:20:23 I know where to find that every single time. You've got. Karma. Sorry about that. I've got to work on that one. Michael... No, I'm sorry. Manuka Gold.
Starting point is 02:20:36 Manuka Gold continues their streak of $333.33. And we appreciate them supporting the show. ITM, everyone. They'll offer 20% off exclusively to no agenda listeners at manukagold.com. And we thought code freedom was a good choice for July. Yes. Hope everybody has a safe and fun time celebrating the big 250. They took my criticism of their copy to heart, John.
Starting point is 02:21:03 Yeah, so I see this attenuated note. We appreciate Manuka Gold. The meeting went like this. Did you hear what that curry I said about us? yeah, we're going to have to stop sending them because it's ridiculous. Well, we have to send it one more time. Unlike interactive brokers, though,
Starting point is 02:21:22 they didn't quit. Didn't rage quit on us. Do they do prop bets? Is that what's going on? This interactive broker do pro? Yeah, they got some prop bets, something similar. Similar enough.
Starting point is 02:21:35 And somebody on the show. It's not quite as bad as what is the worst one. Can't remember their name. Kelchee? Calci? No, there's one, I can't remember then. People know what it is. Michael Taster's up. He's in Irmendale, Iowa. He came in. Now, we don't have very few executive producers today, only three. So we're in

Starting point is 02:22:22 America Bulldog, Karma, please. You've got Karma. And there's Richard Adams from Orham, Utah, with a freedom donation, America 250 donation plus fees, 257.94. He says a 250th anniversary.

And we continue with Sir Johnny B. In Brockport, New York, 257.94. This is Sir Johnny B congratulating America on 250 years of striving to be the best and most of the time hitting the mark. Please check out Sir Johnny B and the robot on Apple Music, that's J-O-N-N-Y-B, Spotify, Amazon, YouTube, or any other music platform,
Starting point is 02:23:21 Johnny B and the Robot. And he sent me a link, and he said, hey, I'm going to send a donation because you listen to the music, and I did. And I'm conflicted about it. Is he no good? It's good. Well, first of all,
Starting point is 02:23:35 the song he sent me a link to is a song about Romans 1, 2, and 3. So it's like a, it's like a, biblical. Yeah, it's a gospel worship music, but it's almost metal. It's very heavy, which I kind of like that. But, you know, I'm just like, all music, if you're really, if you're going to be serious about music, it's just like, is it really music? Because he clearly, you think this is all, it's on us? Well, no, it's AI, because he does a lot of our end-of-show mixes. So he's an AI guy, is Johnny B, Sir Johnny B and the robot. And so, you know, anyway, he's going to try and do
Starting point is 02:24:12 value for value for it. So I promote that. Go listen to it. Let me know what you think. It's good, but I'm just like, is it, is it human? Is it robot? Is it? I don't know. I mean, I don't know how to feel about it. I'll send you a link. I'd like to know what you think about it. There you go. R. Davis 87, uh, from parts unknown, $250. And he says, ITM to my brother crackpot and uncle Buzzkill, aka John and Adam, in honor of the 250th trip around the son of our great country, I would like to offer this small token of my appreciation, and I humbly ask for your deduishing.

Starting point is 02:30:48 and of nature's God entitle them, a decent respect to the opinions of mankind requires that they should declare the causes which impel them to the separation. We hold these truths to be self-evident that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their creator with certain unalienable rights,
Starting point is 02:31:07 that among these are life, liberty, and their pursuit of happiness. Thank you very much, Kevin, and we appreciate your unending support of our work here.

Before we even get to the tip of the day, we always have some ISOs. We'd like to select one for the end of the show. It is My Real People versus John's.
Starting point is 02:38:09 presidents? Really? Presidents? You have more presidents? I have a drone outside the house. Don't fly. Really? Is it at like eye level? It's about, it's about three blocks over. Oh, so it's not looking through your window or anything. No, no, it's not like right out the window, but it's hard to tell. It's interesting to see this thing because it's like, what's it doing there? and it's up pretty high
Starting point is 02:38:41 because I'm about 400 feet at least that high and it's annoying. Well, this is riveting boots on the ground. I'm sorry. As a drone. Okay. Yeah, I have two. Yeah, with the presidents.
Starting point is 02:38:55 You have presidents. Okay. Yeah. And I see that what you've gotten into this thing now where you'll reply to someone's posts. Your engagement farming is what you're doing. You reply to someone's post on X. And this is bad?
Starting point is 02:39:09 It's kind of... It annoys you, I know that. Let's go with Trump. I would like to know if anyone has started listening to the show because of... If you're here, because John posted at president saying, listen to the no agenda show. Please let me know. If I had known that no agenda was this good,
Starting point is 02:39:30 I would give them secret service protection. Not bad. It's a little long, but it's not bad. Okay. It was Lord, yeah. And then we got Obama. As far as I'm concerned, the No Agenda podcast is the best in the universe. Yeah, I think Trump is better than the Obama one.
Starting point is 02:39:49 Let me hear it again. Let me check this. If I had known that no agenda was this good, I would give them secret service protection. It's long, though. But it's possible. Let me see if I have something better. A-O-K. Always go to the well.
Starting point is 02:40:05 Oh, man, that's pretty tight. Uh-huh, uh-huh, uh-huh, uh-huh. Huh? Or? Copy. It could work, you too. From the International Space Station. I didn't understand it.
Starting point is 02:40:14 How about this one? Don't let your friends play with commies. Uh-huh. I like it, but no. Okay, so we're going to go with... If I had known that no agenda was this good, I would give them secret service protection. Well, before we even let the president say that,
Starting point is 02:40:31 it is time for John's tip of the day. Green advice for you and me, just the tip. with J-C-D and sometimes Adam the drone's gone okay we got an interesting
Starting point is 02:40:48 tip this kind of reflects some elements of the show and it's something I is not a bad idea this is the Mag Griffin M-A-G-R-I-F-F-I-N which is the Amazon choice
Starting point is 02:41:02 by the way R-F-I-D blocking card Okay. Now this card, you get three of them for $15. So you can use them here and there. And it's a credit card size card that's super thin. It has RFID circuitry in it that will blow out anybody that tries to steal your, you know,
Starting point is 02:41:28 tries to capture your RFID information and then use it. Do we know if anyone's really successfully done this with RFID? I think there's evidence that people have successfully done this. But it's nice to have it anyway. And it also will block it will block for four inches either way from where the card is. So it'll block an entire wallet. And it will also block a passport. Oh.
Starting point is 02:41:59 To the same RFID frequency the passport uses. Oh, that's interesting. So you put it in your wallet or your purse. Now do you put it on the bottom or the top or does it not matter? If it's in a wallet, it should be in the middle somewhere so it blocks everything. And the people who sell these things, and there's about 20 companies that sell them, and they range, they can be as expensive as 35 bucks. Oh, that seems too much.
Starting point is 02:42:26 But they tell, they say that wallets that have the protective shields inside fail, They don't work all the time. You can check them out. This card supposedly is the way to go because it's got electronics in it. Wasn't Sir Gene selling something like this at some point? He was selling like an EMP proof thing or something. Yeah, that was a Faraday cage. You can buy little sheaths to stick cards and that works.
Starting point is 02:42:57 How about cash? But this is different. How about just using cash? They can't lift your cash. Just use cash. Cash is the way to go. I'm not going to argue with that, but people do have credit cards. There it is, everybody.
Starting point is 02:43:10 There's the one and only John C. DeVorax Tip of the Bay. Go find them all at Tipoitha.com. Create advice for you and me. Just the tip with JCP. And sometimes Adam. Created by Dana Burnettie. And as we near 11 p.m., I'll be in bed sometime around midnight. Now, that is it for your No Agenda show for today.
Starting point is 02:43:35 We do this because we do it as a public service. We love it. We want to make sure you always have as much no agenda as you can get. If you found it valuable, then please return that to us by going to noagenda donations.com. End of show mix coming up. I had too many to choose from, so I got to Just Baker and Johnny B. MVP, I got to talk to you about an MVP mix. Did he piss you off or something?
Starting point is 02:43:59 Do you know anything about this? Why, he's got some nasty things to say? No, he's like apologizing. I got to send it to you. I didn't want to play it until I heard the story. Okay, send it to me. I'll tell you what I think. Okay. Well, all right.
Starting point is 02:44:15 And since he's been in the troll room throughout the show, we have Nick the Rat up next. Oh, he's only in the troll room so I can hear himself. That's right. And this is the syphilis sewer secrets. Oh, yes, a classic Nick the Rat. And we'll be back on Sunday. And I'll be here in,
Starting point is 02:44:34 Amsterdam. Maybe I'll be a grandpa. Who knows? You will get all the latest, and we will help untangle your world. Coming to you from the heart of Amsterdam here at the Museum District in the morning, everybody. I'm Adam Curry. And from Northern Silicon Valley, I'm John C. DeVarag. Remember us at No agenda, Donations.com. Adios, Mofosa, hooey, hooey, and such. Curry in Holland, hoping the baby drops before he flies away. Flies away. From Amstelveen, pirate waves Holding mics as a kid to countdown
Starting point is 02:45:18 Fane now counting down with the store kid Hoping that little producer makes his grand entrance While grandpa's in highland praying For that stork's presence airline stress Time zones twisting the plan But family first That's the no agenda brand Listeners relate traveling for that special birth
Starting point is 02:45:32 Support the show value flow And even when he's on earth abroad Devorak holding the fourth formula steady and strong Crack pot overseas but the vibe carries on If the baby's playing hard to get like a good guest He'll hop that flight back then return for the rest Or running on its own value for value time No rush, no agenda
Starting point is 02:45:51 But the weight's divine Currie in Holland Store condolet Hoping the baby drops Before he flies away Flies away Night drop he'll jet back home but the return trips lock Value for value even across the pond
Starting point is 02:46:13 Producers holding it down while the crap Black pot's gone. In the morning. Now, maternity ward hype. Full circle of Dutch story. Keeping the dream alive. Dream alive. No agenda.
Starting point is 02:46:30 Yeah, yeah, I'm out here taking pause with my little notebook. Ask a simple question. Watch the whole room get shook. The handouts, but somehow never work, never clock, I can't never stand out. Crowd got quiet tension. Dick like molasses. Lady in the back, raised a hand through the masses. Line hook. She said get him out of Congress.
Starting point is 02:46:58 Whole room froze like, This shit really just dropped this. I'm scribbling notes fast in doing cross spit, laughing so hard I nearly lost the whole police. I'm walking through the fair fireworks in the sky. 800,000 boomers popping off up high. The ESA is empty at us a bold twist, but I'm stuck laughing at this lady with the cold gifts. DSA versus Dems primaries like a cage match. Everybody beefing while I'm trying to get a name scratch.
Starting point is 02:47:22 Adams in Holland dropping boots on our ground bits. I'm just trying to finish surveys. with us. I miss no book. Section from the lonely broadcast blues. I'm rendezvous. Flash in this pixelated prison, we break out and refresh. Scroll the feed till the dopamine, dried eyes blazing the glist and shadows of stories. They dissected for the show.
Starting point is 02:48:05 The isolation installation got installed in our heads. Then the producers got the memo time to link up instead. From the morning transmission to the meetup after dark, we swapped tight division while the good vibes steer. Connection is provocation, but a hand show agenda nation. We're building the scene You humans who catch the inside joke most No central server needed It's a mesh made a meat
Starting point is 02:48:45 Or gang sold or deleted Loneliness was the product They pushed on repeat But connections secure That's a no plan Demage Mofo Devorac.org
Starting point is 02:49:30 slash N.A If I had known that no agenda was this good I would give them Secret Service protection
